Effect of oxygen defects blocking barriers on gadolinium doped ceria (GDC) electro-chemo-mechanical properties

Paul Muralt, Robin Nigon

Some oxygen defective metal oxides, such as cerium and bismuth oxides, have recently shown exceptional electrostrictive properties that are even superior to the best performing lead-based electrostrictors, e.g. lead-magnesium-niobates (PMN). Compared to pi ...
