Abstract
The potential for Ca2+ conduction along the 〈001〉 and 〈110〉 directions in the melilite structure type compound Ca2Ga2SiO7 (space group P21m) has been elucidated through the utilization of the bond valence energy landscape method. The randomly grain-oriented polycrystal exhibited an increase in bulk conductivity for Ca2+ (σbulk) from 6.24 × 10−10 S cm−1 at 573 K to 2.09 × 10−5 S cm−1 at 1073 K, with an activation energy of 1.146(10) eV. The transference number at 1073 K was 0.982. The σbulk-value of Ca2Ga2SiO7 at each temperature from 673 to 1073 K was intermediate between those of the grossite structure type compounds CaGa4O7 and CaAl4O7, while the σbulk-value of the NASICON-type compound (Ca0.05Hf0.9)4/3.9Nb(PO4)3 at each temperature from 573 to 873 K was superior to those of these three compounds. The total conductivity for Ca2+ of Ca2Ga2SiO7 was more than 12.4 times larger than that of the NASICON-type compound CaZr4(PO4)6 at each temperature from 923 to 1073 K.
期刊介绍:
This interdisciplinary journal is devoted to the physics, chemistry and materials science of diffusion, mass transport, and reactivity of solids. The major part of each issue is devoted to articles on:
(i) physics and chemistry of defects in solids;
(ii) reactions in and on solids, e.g. intercalation, corrosion, oxidation, sintering;
(iii) ion transport measurements, mechanisms and theory;
(iv) solid state electrochemistry;
(v) ionically-electronically mixed conducting solids.
Related technological applications are also included, provided their characteristics are interpreted in terms of the basic solid state properties.
Review papers and relevant symposium proceedings are welcome.
