Abstract:
Fully dense Sm-doped ceria powders, with doping content between 2 and 30
at.\% and grain size below 20 nm, were consolidated using a
High-Pressure Field Assisted Sintering (HP-FAST) apparatus. Using a
uniaxial pressure of 600 MPa relative densities above 95\% were achieved
at temperatures as low as 600 degrees C with sintering times of only 5
min. Thanks to these exceptionally mild sintering conditions, grain
growth during densification was very limited. The samples were
characterized using impedance spectroscopy and the results showed a
single semicircle, due to an overwhelming contribution of the grain
boundary resistance. Thanks to the brick layer model, the present
results were compared to literature data on microcrystalline materials
and revealed that, contrary to what previously reported by several
authors, negligible modification of the specific grain boundary
conductivity can be produced through the reduction of the grain size in
Sm-doped ceria in the considered doping interval.
