Oxygen Diffusion in SrTiO3 Thin Films - An Attempt to Measure Oxygen Diffusivity at Relatively Low Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

Oxygen diffusivity in strontium titanate films with intentional non-stoichiometry, Sr1+xTi1+yOδ with (1+x)/(1+y) = 0.71.5, was studied to reveal degradation behavior of Sr1+xTi1+yOδ films. In order to utilize isotope tracer diffusion measurement, so-called gas/solid exchange method using 18O2 gas, at relatively low temperature, very thin YSZ layer deposited on top of Sr1+xTi1+yOδ film was used as catalyst for enhanced 18O[gas]/16O[solid] exchange at lower temperature. As a result, very high oxygen diffusivity at 673 K in Sr1+xTi1+yOδ films with (1+x)/(1+y)>>1 was observed.

[11] Usage of substrate having high oxygen diffusivity consumes isotope gas, because 18O/16O exchange occurs not only for the film but also for the substrate. Thus, using sapphire substrate for preliminary study saves isotope gas.
