Popis:	The transport of oxygen through high‐purity membranes of Ag (110), Ag (poly), Ag (nano), and Ag 2.0 Zr has been studied by an ultrahigh vacuum permeation method over the temperature range of 400–800 °C. The data show that there are substantial deviations from ordinary diffusion‐controlled transport. A surface limitation has been confirmed by glow‐discharge studies where the upstream O2 supply has been partially converted to atoms, which, for the same temperature and pressure, gave rise to over an order of magnitude increase in transport flux. Further, the addition of 2.0 wt % Zr to the Ag has provided increased dissociative adsorption rates, which, in turn, increased the transport flux by a factor of 2. It was also observed that below a temperature of 630 °C, the diffusivity exhibits an increase in activation energy of over 4 kcal/mol, which has been attributed to trapping of the atomic oxygen and/or kinetic barriers at the surface and subsurface of the vacuum interface. Above 630 °C, the activation barrier decreases to the accepted value of ∼11 kcal/mol for Ag (poly), consistent with zero concentration at the vacuum interface.
