Homework 1 FM

This document contains homework assignments on functional materials. It asks the student to: 1) Write Kroger-Vink notation defect reactions for doping various metal oxides with different dopants. 2) Analyze a Kroger-Vink diagram to determine dominant defects under low and high oxygen pressures and write the corresponding defect reactions. 3) Derive expressions relating defect concentrations to oxygen partial pressure in different regimes and discuss assumptions. It also asks questions about intrinsic defects, defects under reducing/oxidizing conditions, interstitial ions, and defects from doping with different valency cations.

HW # 1

1. Using the Kroger-Vink notation, write down a defect reaction for:

a. Doping of ZrO2 by Ta2O5 (ZrO2 is host lattice)


b. Doping of MgO by Al2O3
c. Doping of BaTiO3 by Cr2O3
d. Doping of BaTiO3 by Ta2O5

2. Given the Kroger-Vink diagram shown below, answer the following questions:

a. What are the dominant defects in this material at low and at high oxygen partial
pressures (PO2).
b. Write down defect reactions for the low oxygen partial pressure and for the high
oxygen partial pressure regimes.
c. Derive expressions that relate the dominant ionic defect concentration to PO 2 in
the low and high partial pressure cases.
a. Describe each assumption during the derivations
b. Explain if each of the assumption are valid for:
i. H2
ii. N2
iii. Ar

valency than that of the cations of the host lattice? Write the reactions for their
formation.
