Abstract

The surface exchange coefficient, ki, of the mixed ionic electronic conductor perovskite, La0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Ga0.2O3−δ, was determined in the temperature range 600-900°C by electrical conductivity relaxation on thin plate and long bar samples, using four probe dc conductivity measurements. The normalized conductivity could be fitted by the equation corresponding to surface limited relaxation, (σ(t) − σ1) / (σ2 − σ1) = 1 − exp(−t / Tr), where τ = l1l2 / [(l1 + l2)Γki], σ(t), σ1 and σ2 are the time dependent, initial and final conductivities, Γ is the thermodynamic factor and 21, and 212 are the lateral sides of the bar. Numerical simulation shows that the shape of the relaxation curve for the plate geometry changes only little in going from surface limited to diffusion limited transport, the change is significantly larger for the bar geometry.
