Modeling and Characterization of Mixed Ionic-Electronic Conduction in Gd-2(Ti1-Xmnx)(2)O-7+y
Mixed ionic and electronic conductivity was obtained in Gd2Ti2O7 by doping with Mn. This was confirmed by measuring the nonstoichiometry and the electrical conductivity as a function of oxygen partial pressure, temperature and Mn concentration. The results were combined with the defect and transport models, to derive key thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of Gd2Ti2O7 doped with Mn.
