摘要: A variational, phase-field methodology describing the segregation of dopant cations to free surfaces mixed conducting perovskite oxides is introduced. Based on Cahn–Hilliard formalism for solute in alloys and Cahn theory wetting a solution at solid surface, model qualitatively predicts experimentally observed behavior oxides, which shows layers order tens nanometers. Critical this description are interactions among defects gradient energy – two related concepts that can be expected become influential relatively high concentrations. The analysis first-order phase transition surface-mediated spinodal may occur depending strength affinity oxygen vacancies surface.
