Abstract

Isotope exchange with C18O2 followed by depth profiling analysis was used to study surface exchange and bulk diffusion of oxygen in single crystal ((100) surface orientation) yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) in the temperature range 250°C - 350°C. The depth profiles, which were obtained using 18O(ρ,α)15N nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), reveal both the bulk oxygen diffusion coefficients (D) and surface exchange coefficients (k). Bulk oxygen diffusion coefficients are consistent with an extrapolation to lower temperature of previously published results with an activation energy of 114 kJ/mol (1.2 eV). The surface exchange rates, however, depend strongly on the gas exchange species. Much higher exchange rates are observed with C18O2 than with 18O2 (over four orders of magnitude when compared to an extrapolation to lower temperatures of previously published results) with a measured activation energy of 152 kJ/mol (1.6 eV). This faster surface exchange rate enabled measurable 18O tracer profiles to be generated at lower temperatures than previously reported, further contributing to the understanding of YSZ material properties and bringing to light a possible order/disorder transition similar to that previously observed at 650°C.
