Abstract

The deviation from stoichiometry, δ, in Co1-δ O was measured in-situ as a function of oxygen activity at temperatures between 1000 and 1400 ºC, using ahigh resolution microbalance. The experiments were conducted over the entire Co1-δO phase stability region at atmospheric pressure. The experimental results were analyzed with regard to the point defect structure and also in comparison with mass and charge transport data. Contrary to prior belief, it was found that the average mobility of the cationic defects and holes varied with their respective concentration.
