Influence of aliovalent cation substitution on structural and electrical properties of Gd₂(Zr_1−xM_x)₂O_7−δ (M = Sc, Y) systems

Abstract

Fluorite-type zirconate compositions: Gd₂(Zr_1−xM_x)₂O_7−δ (M = Sc, Y; <italic>x</italic> = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) were prepared and the influence of aliovalent cation substitution on the structural and electrical properties were investigated in detail and correlated.
