STRUCTURAL AND DYNAMIC STUDIES OF DELTA-BI2O3 OXIDE ION CONDUCTORS .1. THE STRUCTURE OF (BI2O3)1-X(Y2O3)X AS A FUNCTION OF X AND TEMPERATURE

We report the results of both Bragg and diffuse neutron scattering studies of the superionic solid solution, (Bi2O3)1-x(Y2O3)x. The Bragg data for polycrystalline samples show that the strutural features observed previously in (Bi2O3)0.73(Y2O3)0.27 are present across the entire range of the solid so...

description We report the results of both Bragg and diffuse neutron scattering studies of the superionic solid solution, (Bi2O3)1-x(Y2O3)x. The Bragg data for polycrystalline samples show that the strutural features observed previously in (Bi2O3)0.73(Y2O3)0.27 are present across the entire range of the solid solution, 0.25 < x < 0.42. The number of 〈111〉-displaced anions in the defect fluorite structure decreases with increasing Y3+ content whereas the extent of short-range ordering on the anion sublattice increases. Both of these observations are consistent with the decrease in oxide ion conductivity which occurs as x increases. The basic crystal structure does not change between room temperature and 1023 K, although the unit cell volume increases by 3.78% for x = 0.27, and the number of 〈111〉-displaced anions increases, again consistent with the enhanced conductivity observed at high temperatures. It is suggested that Y3+ stabilizes the fluorite structure by ordering the vacancies on the oxygen sublattice in chains along the 〈111〉 and 〈110〉 directions. © 1986.
