Abstract

Strontium titanate (SrTiO3) is known as a good high‐temperature resistive oxygen sensor material; its response time depends on oxygen bulk diffusion and surface exchange processes. In the present work, 18O diffusion has been investigated in lanthanum‐doped SrTiO3, single crystals in the temperature range 700° to 900°C by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). Oxygen tracer diffusivities between 2 × 10−15 and 1 × 10−13 cm2/s have been calculated from the SIMS results. Low surface enrichment of 18O compared to the 18O concentration in the gas atmosphere gives clear evidence for a surface exchange reaction.
