Abstract

Electrical conductivity, internal friction techniques and dilatometer have been used to investigate the oxygen relaxation, phase transition and thermal expansion behavior of GdBaCo 2O 5 + δ . The main electronic charge carriers in GdBaCo 2O 5 + δ are electronic holes, which could be assigned to the formation of Co 4+. The oxygen exchange kinetics intensely depends on oxygen partial pressure and is also closely related to temperature. Both electrical conductivity and internal friction give rise to an abnormal at about 75 °C, which are related to the insulator-metal transition occurring in GdBaCo 2O 5 + δ . One large relaxation internal friction peak, due to the motion of oxygen within Gd–O plane, is also found in the oxide. The average thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of GdBaCo 2O 5 + δ is about 21.4 × 10 − 6 K − 1 between 500 °C and 900 °C.
