Abstract. The electrical conductivity of the SrTil.xFexO3-8, BaTil_xFexO3.8 and SrTil_xMnxO3_8 systems has been studied in a range of oxygen partial pressures between 10 -16 and 0.21 atm at 900 and 1000 ~ The materials exhibit predominantly ionic conductivity in a wide range of intermediate oxygen partial pressures. It has been found that in Fe doped strontium and barium titanates, the dependencies of the ionic conductivity on the acceptor concentration show a local maximum near x = 0.2. Taking into account that in the CaTil.xFexO3.ssystem (x = 0-0.5), the concentration dependence of the ionic conductivity also has a maximum near x = 0.2, it caq be concluded that this is a common phenomenon for Fe doped alkali earth titanates. An assumption has been made that a scheme of defect formation devised earlier for Fe doped calcium titanate is applicable for other alkali earth titanates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
