AbstractThe pyrochlore solid solution Gd2(Zrx Til−x)2O7, was found to be an attractive system for investigating the relationship between composition, structural disorder and ionic conductivity. Both cation and anion order parameters were found to decrease systematically with increasing substitution of Zr for Ti leading ultimately to intrinsic fast oxygen ion conductivity in the solid solution. The degree of intrinsic disorder was determined quantitatively from doping experiments and was found to be equal to l.0×lO39 exp(-O.24±0.03eV/kT)cm−6sfor x = 0.3 and substantially larger for higher values of x. Oxygen vacancy mobilities, on the other hand, were found to be relatively independent of x with values of μv, = 0.15exp(-0.78 ± 0.02 eV/kT)cm2V−1s−1. These, and more recent results, on Y2 (ZrxTil−x)2O7, are discussed in the context of the similarities between the pyrochlore and fluorite phases.

AbstractThe transport properties of the pyrochlore solid solution Gd2(ZrxTil-x)2O7 are investigated to clarify the relationships between composition, structural disorder and ionic and electronic transport. The oxygen ion conductivity has been found to increase sharply with increasing Zr content, x, due to enhanced structural disorder, leading to intrinsic ionic conduction at large values ofx. In contrast, the n—type conductivity predominant at low x, decreases sharply above x=0.2. Defect chemical models are presented to account for the simultaneous contributions of both intrinsic and dopant induced disorder. These models are applied to the σ(T, PO2, dopant) data to extract key thermodynamic and transport parameters. The significance of these parameters and the potential application of these materials in electrochemical devices are discussed.

Thin film multilayers composed of Y2O3-doped CeO2(YDC) with CeO2, with Ce0.70Zr0.30O2(CZO30), or with Ce0.55Zr0.45O2(CZO45) were fabricated to systematically quantify the effect of biaxial compressive strain on oxygen ion conductivity in YDC.

AbstractRaman measurements on the Gd2(ZrxTi1−x)2O7, solid solution show increasing peak widths as the composition is varied from Gd2Ti2O7, to Gd2Zr2,O7. The increase in peak width is interpreted as reflecting an increase in structural disorder with increasing x in this pyrochlore structure material. Structural disorder occurs readily in such oxides by the formation of cation anti-site defects and anion frenkel defects. We have previously observed that this leads to a marked increase in oxygen ion conduction with increasing x. Preliminary results also indicate that certain peaks in the Raman spectra are characteristic of the end members of the solid solution and may occur at the same frequency independent of composition. The Raman results are discussed in relation to earlier x-ray diffraction and ionic conductivity data obtained in this group.

AbstractCompounds that consist of intergrowths between the Aurivillius phase Bi4Ti3O12 and brownmillerite-like slabs of BaMO2.5were synthesized and their oxygen ion conductivities investigated. Both BaBi4Ti3ScO14.5 and BaBi4Ti3InO14.5 display a discontinuity in their Arrhenius plots that appears to be caused by an oxygen vacancy order-disorder transition. Conductivity data for two Aurivillius phases BaBi4Ti4O15 and BaBi2Nb2O9 are included for comparison.

The relationship between the optical phonon parameters and the oxygen ion conductivities were investigated for AlYb co-doped zirconia ceramics. Intrinsic intragrain ion conductivity, σdc, decreased with increasing Al loading into ytterbia-stabilized zirconia, while the damping parameter of the lattice vibration, γ1TO, increased. This phenomenon agreed with findings of our previous study, which revealed a relationship between the σdc and the γ1TO for zirconia-based ion conductors.

Background: The relationship between suicidal thinking and adolescent dating violence has not been previously explored in a sample of adolescent abortion patients. Aims: This paper highlights a study where the relationship between dating violence and severity of suicidal thinking was examined in a sample of 120 young women ages 14–21 seeking to terminate an unintended pregnancy. Methods: The Multidimensional Adolescent Assessment Scale and the Conflict in Adolescent Relationships Scale was used to gather information about psychosocial problems and dating violence so that the relationship between the two problems could be examined, while controlling for the other psychosocial problems. Results: The results suggest that dating violence was related to severity of suicidal thinking, and that the magnitude of this relationship was moderated by the severity of problems with aggression. Conclusions: Specifically, as the severity of participant’s general problems with aggression increased, the magnitude of the relationship between dating violence and severity of suicidal thinking increased. Limitations of the study and implications for practice are discussed.

When people are told that their negative memories are worse than other people’s, do they later remember those events differently? We asked participants to recall a recent negative memory then, 24 h later, we gave some participants feedback about the emotional impact of their event – stating it was more or less negative compared to other people’s experiences. One week later, participants recalled the event again. We predicted that if feedback affected how participants remembered their negative experiences, their ratings of the memory’s characteristics should change over time. That is, when participants are told that their negative event is extremely negative, their memories should be more vivid, recollected strongly, and remembered from a personal perspective, compared to participants in the other conditions. Our results provide support for this hypothesis. We suggest that external feedback might be a potential mechanism in the relationship between negative memories and psychological well-being.
