Modeling and Characterization of Electrical Transport in Oxygen Conducting Solid Electrolytes

A model for the electrical conductivity in acceptor-doped oxides which involves an association between the acceptor-dopants and oxygen vacancies resulting in donor centers is considered. The model relates the behavior of the electrical conductivity with the temperature, ambient atmosphere and band structure. The predictions of the model are compared to experimental data for ZrO₂:16% Y and SrCeO₃:5% Yb oxygen conductors and some band structure parameters have been determined.     

The Electrical and Defect Properties of Bi3Zn2Sb3O14 Pyrochlore: A Grain-Boundary Phase in ZnO-Based Varistors

The electrical conductivity of Bi₃Zn₂Sb₃O₁₄ pyrochlore was studied as a function of temperature and partial pressure of oxygen. Conductivity measurements by ac complex impedance analysis and ionic transference number measurements show this pyrochlore to be a mixed ionic-electronic conductor with an energy band gap of 3.15 ± 0.9 eV. A defect model in which Frenkel defects on the oxygen lattice are dominant is confirmed. Enthalpies of reduction, oxidation and the sum of oxygen vacancy formation and migration were found to be 4.82 ± 0.8 eV, 1.48 ± 1.0 eV and 1.67 ± 1.0 eV respectively.     

不可逆电穿孔时组织电导率变化对电场和温度的影响

为了研究不可逆电穿孔过程中组织电导率对组织内电场分布及温度的影响,采用有限元分析软件COMSOL建立了小鼠肝脏的球形肿瘤及椭球形肿瘤的数值模型;通过改变组织的电导率,得到肿瘤及正常组织内不可逆电穿孔电场、温度的分布情况。结果表明:组织电导率随着穿孔过程的发展逐渐增大。组织电导率变化前后,2种肿瘤模型中的各项数据如下:1)不可逆电穿孔电场消融的肿瘤体积与肿瘤总体积之比分别从0.867 7升至0.927 0(球形肿瘤)以及从0.451 1升至0.772 1(椭球形肿瘤);2)不可逆电穿孔电场造成正常组织损伤的体积与肿瘤总体积之比分别从0.745 9降至0.678 2(球形肿瘤)以及从0.816 4降至0.603 6(椭球形肿瘤);3)温升1℃的正常组织的最大体积只有肿瘤体积的1.16%,说明正常组织的温升对组织整体温度变化的影响较小。因此,组织不可逆电穿孔过程中,增大电导率能在促进电脉冲对肿瘤的消融效果的同时减小其对正常组织的损伤,且脉冲作用造成的组织温升不会造成组织的热损伤。
