The migration of Ag in cold-pressed Pb0.95Sr0.05(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3 ceramics was studied, by using radioactive tracers and sectioning, after isothermal annealing at between 500 and 750C. It was found that the results could be described by:
D (cm2/s) = 0.83 exp[-124(kJ/mol)/RT]
The Ag thus exhibited a high diffusivity; having a coefficient of about 5 x 10-7cm2/s at 750 to 800C. This was attributed to grain boundary diffusion.
