摘要: Abstract Thin Gd2O3 films with a thickness of about 150 nm were deposited by pulsed layer deposition on polycrystalline CeO2 substrates to study the structural evolution Ce1−xGdxO2−x/2 system respect phase formation and cation interdiffusion in temperature range between 986 °C 1270 °C. Transmission electron microscopy combined quantitative energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was applied microstructure obtain composition profiles across Gd2O3/CeO2-interface. observed occur bixbyite structure up 1175 °C. The fluorite are found at intermediate compositions without any indication for miscibility gap. Interdiffusion coefficients obtained from Gd2O3/CeO2-concentration basis diffusion-couple solution diffusion equation. activation enthalpy frequency factor coefficient derived assuming an Arrhenius-type behavior investigated range.
