ELECTRONIC CONDUCTION IN PURE AND CHROMIUM-DOPED RUTILE AT 1273 K

Abstract
The symmetric chain Pt-TiO2-Pt was studied by means of complex impedance spectroscopy at T = 1273 K for pure and chromium-doped rutile in the partial pressure of oxygen range from 10-12 to 1 atm. The isothermal variations of electronic conductivity of rutile doped with 1 to 5 % atoms Cr as a function of P02 were interpreted in terms of point defects by the model of mixed-valence chromium. The comparative study of pure and doped rutile permits us more particularly to determine the different defect equilibria constants, the electronic mobility, the band gap and the acceptor-chromium ionization energy
