Rare-earth (RE)-doped ceria systems, in particular when RE ≡ Nd, Sm, or Gd, are well-known to be characterized by high values of ionic conductivity in the intermediate temperature range, which, in principle, makes them ideal solid electrolytes in solid oxide fuel and electrolysis cells. Defect chemistry turns out to be a pivotal issue in this...

Rare earth-doped ceria thin films are currently thoroughly studied to be used in miniaturized solid oxide cells, memristive devices and gas sensors. The employment in such different application fields derives from the most remarkable property of this material, namely ionic conductivity, occurring through the mobility of oxygen ions above a...

A compositional and crystallographic study was carried out on the Smy(FexNi1−x)4Sb11.5Sn0.5 filled skutterudite system (0.40 ≤ x ≤ 0.80) with the aim to determine the equilibrium Sm filling fraction (y) within the considered x range. The relevance of the material lies in its potential thermoelectric properties: in analogy with similar...

Synchrotron powder diffraction measurements were performed up to 7 GPa on Ce1â-xLuxO2-x/2bulk samples in order to elucidate the high pressure structural properties of the system. In the studied pressure rangeCe1â-xLuxO2-x/2does not show any structural phase transition. The bulk modulus as a function of the Lu content is found to broadly fall...
