Ionic conductivity in the hafnia-rare earth systems and phase equilibria in the system hafnia-zirconia-yttria
Phase equilibria in the system hafnia-zirconia-yttria were investigated at 1300/sup 0/C and 1600/sup 0/C by precise lattice-parameter measurements and the direct phase-inspection method. Large fluorite solid solution regions are dominant at both investigated temperatures. The extent of ordering within the ternary was studied in the samples containing 40 m/o yttria at 1300/sup 0/C. The delta-phase ((Zr,HF)/sub 3/Y/sub 4/O/sub 12/) formation was established only in those samples with less than 15 m/o hafnia content. Nonequilibrium behavior was found in the samples containing the yttria-based C-type rare-earth solid-solution phase. The bulk ionic conductivity of the hafnia-rare earth fluorite-type solid solutions was measured on the samples prepared by co-precipitation of chloride solutions, using the impedance spectroscopy technique. The conductivities of the hafnia-rare earth systems was generally found to be approx. 2-5 times lower than those reported previously for the corresponding zirconia-based systems. A maximum in the ionic conductivity, accompanied by a minimum in the activation energy of conduction, was observed near the 10 m/o dopant concentration for the yttria, ytterbia, and samaria-doped samples.
