Abstract

In this study, the microstructure and electric conductivity of 5mol% $Gd_2O_3$-5mol% $Y_2O_3-ZrO_2$ system(5G5YZ) with a variation of sintering time at $1600^{\circ}C$ were investigated. By the result of TEM analysis of 5G5YZ sintered for 12h, a microcrack was observed near grain boundary. The change of the sintering time did not affect the lattice conductivity, but the grain boundary contribution was varied with the sintering time. The grain boundary conductivity of the sample sintered for 1h showed the highest value. Furthermore, the activation energy of the total conductivity was independent upon the sintering time and showed approximately 1.01eV. The highest conductivity measured at $1000^{\circ}C$ was 0.0197S/cm with the sample sintered for 1h. Comparing to 0h’s, the thickness ration of grain boundary as a function of sintering time were 0.88, 1.11 and 1.29 for 1h, 5h and 12h, respectively. In case of the sample sintered for 1h, the thickness of the grain boundary showed the lowest value. The increase of the sintering time over 1h made the decrease of the electric conductivity as well as the increase of the grain growth and the thickness of the grain boundary. As a result, it seemed that the proper sintering time for 5G5YZ composition was 1h.
