Popis: The surface of Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) is implanted with Cu and Mn in order to turn it into a mixed ionic electronic conductor (MIEC). Ar is implanted in order to examine the effect of damage only on the electrical properties. Mixed conductivity appears in the Cu- and Mn-implanted layers and is high enough to short-circuit the much thicker non-implanted YSZ layer, at T A relatively fast exchange of oxygen with YSZ is observed at temperatures as low as 215 °C through the implanted layer, where equilibrium is obtained, upon annealing, within ∼60 min.
