Nitrogen diffusion in nitrogen-doped yttria stabilised zirconia

Nitrogen self-diffusion was measured in single crystalline nitrogen-doped yttria-stabilised zirconia (YZrON) containing 10 mol% yttrium oxide. Samples containing two different nitrogen contents (5 and 6 mol% N on the anion sublattice) were investigated as a function of temperature (650-1000 K) using...

Sumario:Nitrogen self-diffusion was measured in single crystalline nitrogen-doped yttria-stabilised zirconia (YZrON) containing 10 mol% yttrium oxide. Samples containing two different nitrogen contents (5 and 6 mol% N on the anion sublattice) were investigated as a function of temperature (650-1000 K) using implanted N as a stable tracer. For a given temperature, the nitrogen diffusivity was nearly independent of the nitrogen content in the nitrogen-doped yttria-stabilised zirconia, which can be only partially understood using defect chemistry. The activation enthalpy of nitrogen diffusion was between 2 and 2.5 eV with a preexponential factor of the order of 100 cm2 s-1, which corresponds to a migration entropy of 5 kB. The surface exchange reaction between nitrogen and the oxonitride surface was investigated at 1073 K using 200 mbar gaseous 15N2 and was found to be slow but considerable. Decreasing the oxygen content in the gas phase can enhance the nitrogen incorporation into the oxonitrides.
