Abstract
The present study concerns oxygen-ion transfer between yttria-stabilized zirconia single crystals (YSZ/YSZ) under mechanical contact stress. Two YSZ single crystal plates were piled up between platinum meshes, and contact stress was mechanically applied. The interfacial conductivity as well as the bulk conductivity was successfully measured with this setup. The interfacial conductivity is greatly influenced by the contact stress, whereas the bulk conductivity is almost independent of the stress. The interfacial conductivity was significantly increased with increasing contact stress. A similar improvement in the interfacial conductivity between YSZ and lanthanum strontium cobalt ferrite (YSZ/LSCF) was also observed.
