Abstract
In order to elucidate the mechanism of oxide-ion conductivity for (Ba0.5-xSrxLa0.5)(In1-yMy)2O5.5 (M=Y or Ga, 0<x<0.2, 0<y<0.2) solid-solution system, the electrical conductivity was measured as a function of oxygen partial pressure and temperature, and the results were investigated in terms of a dopant content and unit cell free volume. The system was confirmed to be an oxide-ion conductor from the oxygen partial pressure dependence on electrical conductivity. The oxide-ion conductivity increased with increasing the unit cell free volume at first. However, it showed a maximum at a value of free volume, and then decreased. The decreasing conductivity vs. the volume would be related to the crystal symmetry change.
