摘要
Alternating current (ac) conductivity and permittivity measurements were carried out on yttria-stabilized cubic zirconia, with yttria varying from 9.6 to 25.5 mol%. In this composition range, the dielectric constant measured at 10(3) Hz decreased from 29.8 to 23.2 as the yttria concentration increased. A plot of the ac conductivity versus frequency exhibited a plateau conductivity (sigma(dc)) and a frequency (omega) dependent term sigma'(omega). An analysis of sigma'(omega) with a suitable theoretical approach based on a pairs-approximation model, resulted in a calculated binding energy for the yttrium-associated oxygen vacancy of 0.29 +/- 0.05 eV, which compares favorably with values obtained by different means in previous studies. The experimental determination of the frequency dependence of the conductivity and its analysis provides an effective basis for understanding the ionic conductivity mechanism.
