AbstractGalvanostatic polarization of a mixed conductor located between an ionically blocking electrode and an electronically blocking electrode in an asymmetric electrochemical cell is treated in detail. Evaluation formulae for the determination of the chemical diffusion coefficient of mixed conductors with comparable ionic and electronic transport numbers are introduced. They allow the determination of the chemical diffusion coefficient of Ag1.92Te as a function of composition at 160°C from galvanostatic polarization and depolarization experiments on the asymmetric cell Ag | AgI | Ag1.92Te | Pt. The chemical diffusion coefficient shows composition dependent values between 0.002 and 0.004 cm2s-1. The electronic transport numbers are obtained independently from four-point van der Pauw measurements with typical values around 0.8–0.9.

Abstract We study the boundary layer problem of a Keller-Segel model in a domain of two space dimensions with vanishing chemical diffusion coefficient. By using the method of matched asymptotic expansions of singular perturbation theory, we construct an accurate approximate solution which incorporates the effects of boundary layers and then use the classical energy estimates to prove the structural stability of the approximate solution as the chemical diffusion coefficient tends to zero.

Abstract The diffusion of Sn-113 and Au-195 in pure gold and dilute tin -gold alloys has been measured at different temperatures and tin concentrations in coarse-grained specimens. In addition the dependence on concentration of the chemical diffusion coefficient and the diffusion of tin in gold at very low impurity concentrations has been determined using the electron microprobe. It was found, that the self-diffusion coefficient of tin as well as that of gold increased strongly with in-creasing impurity content. The thermodynamic factor is equal to one up to ca. 0.5 at.-% tin. For the correlation factor of the diffusion of tin in gold, calculated by the relation of Lidiard, an essentially temperature independent value is obtained. A comparison of the experimental results with the model of Le Claire concerning the impurity diffusion in metals shows, that this model seems to require a too-large temperature dependence of the correlation factor

The model explaining the occurrence of the electron concentration step front during oxidation of nitrogen-doped TiO2-δ thin films is presented. This model is based on ambipolar chemical diffusion coefficient analysis, for which immobile and uniformly distributed nitrogen component is assumed. The diffusion species and oxygen activity (pressure) profiles are obtained by numerical and approximate analytical simulation of the chemical diffusion. The profiles indicate the presence of two separate singularities: the electron concentration step front, and the electron-hole recombination reaction front. The electron concentration step front relates to the singularity of the ambipolar diffusion of three types of charged species with essentially different diffusion coefficients.

The oxygen chemical diffusion coefficient in (U, Pu)O2-x was determined by thermo-gravimetry as functions of the Pu content, oxygen-to-metal ratio and temperature. The surface reaction was considered in the diffusion coefficient determination. The activation energy for the chemical diffusion coefficient was 60 kJ/mol and 65 kJ/mol, respectively, in (U0.8Pu0.2)O2-x and (U0.7Pu0.3)O2-x.
