We investigated the effect of Zr impurities on the oxygen diffusion pathway in BaTiO3 ceramics by using an ion-imaging technique. Zr impurities were introduced into BaTiO3 ceramics by a planetary ball milling process. The oxygen tracer diffused quickly from the surface up to the grain boundary and then appeared as discontinuous steps at the grain boundary. The results indicate that the grain boundary acted as a blocking layer against oxygen diffusion. The blocking for oxygen diffusion at the grain boundary is thought to originate during the formation and distribution of complex defects between the charged oxygen vacancies and the Ba vacancies near the grain boundary.

AbstractCation diffusion in the spinel solid solution (Fe1-xTix)3-δO4 (0≤ x ≤ 0.3) was investigated at 1200 ºC as a function of oxygen activity, aO2 and cationic composition, x. At different cationic compositions, cation tracer diffusion coefficients, D*Me of Me = Fe and Ti were measured as a function of oxygen activity. Plots of log DMe vs. loga0 show V-shaped curves, indicating that different types of point defects prevail at high anc low oxygen activities. Thermogravimetric experiments were conducted, using a high resolution microbalance, to determine the deviation from stoichiometry in (Fe1-xTix)3-δO4 at 1200 °C. δversus log aO2 curves are S-shaped. An analysis of the oxygen activity dependences of thecation diffusion coefficients and the deviation from stoichiometry with regardto the point defect structure suggests that at high oxygen activities cation vacancies are the predominant defects governing the deviation from stoichiometry and the diffusion ofcations. At low oxygen activities, and at small values of x, cation interstitials determine the deviation from stoichiometry, while they dominate for 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3 inthe cation diffusion.

In this work, undoped, N-doped, WO3-loaded undoped, and WO3-loaded with N-doped TiO2 rutile single-crystal wafers were fabricated by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering. N-doping into TiO2 and WO3 loading onto TiO2 surface were used to increase and decrease oxygen vacancies. Various measurements were conducted to analyze the structural and magnetic properties of the samples. X-ray diffraction results showed that the N-doping and WO3 loading did not change the phase of all samples. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results revealed that W element loaded onto rutile single-crystal wafers existed in the form of WO3. UV-Vis spectrometer results showed that the absorption edge of WO3-loaded undoped and WO3-loaded with N-doped TiO2 rutile single-crystal wafers had red shift, resulting in a slight decrease in the corresponding band gap. Photoluminescence spectra indicated that oxygen vacancies existed in all samples due to the postannealing atmosphere, and oxygen vacancies density increased with N-doping, while decreasing with WO3 loading onto TiO2 surface. The magnetic properties of the samples were investigated, and the saturation magnetization values were in the order N-doped > WO3-loaded with N-doped > undoped > WO3-loaded undoped rutile single-crystal wafers, which was the same order as the oxygen vacancy densities of these samples. N-doping improved the saturation magnetization values, while WO3-loaded decreased the saturation magnetization values. This paper reveals that the magnetic properties of WO3-loaded with N-doped rutile single-crystal wafers originate from oxygen vacancies.
