Proton Diffusion in Hydrated Acceptor-Doped Barium Zirconate
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
Quasielastic neutron scattering experiments have been performed on proton-conducting hydrated Y-doped BaZrO3 at temperatures between 473 K and 673 K. Quasielastic broadening is observed at all temperatures, but only at the higher ones the scattering exhibits the characteristics of the proton transport process. Attempts to interpret our data in the framework of the two-state model yield unconvincing results. A simpler approach using the isotropic Chudley-Elliott model yields reasonable values for the proton self-diffusivities but also unusually high values for the jump distance which are close to the mean distance between dopants.
