Abstract

Oxygen vacancy diffusion coefficient in yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is investigated by statistical moment method. Vacancy-dopant association energy, vacancy migration energy are calculated as a function of temperature and dopant concentration. Oxygen vacancy diffusion coefficient increases with the increasing temperature but decreases with the dopant concentration. This degradation of the diffusion coefficient arises from the limitation for oxygen vacancy migration across cation barriers with the increasing dopant concentration. Calculated results are in good agreement with other theoretical and experimental results.
