Mechanical Effect on Oxygen Mobility in Yttria Stabilized Zirconia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
The mechanical effect on the oxygen ion mobility in zirconia stabilized with 8 mol% yttria was investigated in this study. A dynamic mechanical thermal analysis showed that the dynamic modulus decreased gradually with temperature while the mechanical loss had two peaks due to different relaxation mechanisms. From the comparison of activation energies between the ionic conductivity and the mechanical relaxation, the dominant factor for oxygen mobility was determined to be the migration of oxygen vacancies in the simple complexes. An impedance analysis under mechanical tensile-loading conditions showed that the mechanical load increased ionic conductivity by 6% at maximum.
