Abstract: | The dramatic increases in ionic conductivity in Gd2(Ti1-xZrx)2O7 solid solution are related to disordering on the cation and anion lattices. Disordering in Gd2(Ti1-xZrx)2O7 was characterized using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). As Zr substitutes for Ti in Gd2Ti2O7 to form Gd2(Ti1-xZrx)2O7 (0.25 < x < or =0.75), the corresponding O 1s XPS spectrum merges into a single symmetric peak. This confirms that the cation antisite disorder occurs simultaneously with anion disorder. Furthermore, the O 1s XPS spectrum of Gd2Zr2O7 experimentally suggests the formation of a split vacancy. |
