AbstractBesides some necessary reviewing of conventional diffusion theory, this paper deals with the modification of the mass and charge transport equations originating from the occurence of internal defect-chemical reactions (especially valence changes of the defects) which can be considered to be in local equilibrium. It is shown how the phenomenological transport coefficients for chemical diffusion, tracer diffusion and ionic conduction depend on the individual defect diffusivities under such general conditions. Moreover, the evaluation formulae of well-known electrochemical techniques such as Wagner-Hebb polarization and concentration cell experiments have to be modified. Application is made to the influence of trapping effects in doped SrTi03, to the valence changes in YBa2Cu3O6+x as well as to the mixed conduction in orthorhombic PbO.

Tracer diffusion experiments have historically furnished much of the information about fundamental diffusion processes as embodied in such quantities as tracer correlation factors and vacancy-atom exchange frequencies. As tracer diffusion experiments using radiotracers are rather less often performed nowadays, it is important to be able to process other diffusion data to provide similar fundamental information. New procedures that are primarily based around the random alloy model have been established recently for analyzing chemical diffusion data in binary and ternary alloy systems. These procedures are reviewed here. First, we review the random alloy model, the Sum-rule relating the phenomenological coefficients and three diffusion kinetics formalisms making use of the random alloy. Next, we show how atom-vacancy exchange frequency ratios and then component tracer correlation factors can be extracted from chemical diffusion data in alloy systems. Examples are taken from intrinsic diffusion and interdiffusion data in a number of binary and ternary alloys.

In complex perovskite-type oxides which have been studied as cathode materials, the thermal expansion coefficient increases with the increase in the oxygen ionic conductivity. In the present study, with the aim to explain such a behavior, a research has been carried out from a chemical bond point of view. For oxides A1-xA′xB1-yB′yO with perovskite structure, the ionicity of the individual bond, A-O and B-O, and the thermal expansion coefficient of mixed compounds were estimated by using semiempirical methods. It has been shown that the thermal expansion coefficient and the oxygen ionic conductivity decrease with the increase in the difference of the ionicity between A-O and B-O bonds. It is also found that the tolerance factor and the specific free volume are linearly correlated with the difference of ionicity.
