Abstract

The electrical conductivities of YSZ single crystals with various compositions covering FSZ and PSZ regions were measured by a complex impedance method and a four-probe a.c. method. The conductivities changed significantly as a function of composition. A simple conduction model for PSZ showed that the tetragonal phase is a good oxygen ionic conductor having an activation energy for motion of about 0.8 to 0.9 eV. It is promising for low temperature application of a solid state electrolyte.
