Abstract

Nonstoichiometry and defect model for $Ni_{1-x}O$ were determined by coulometric titration method. In the temperature range of 1123-1198K and oxygen partial pressure of 0.21-0.1 atm, the nonstoichiometry was found to be proportional to the fourth root of the oxygen partial pressure. This pressure dependence can be explained by the fact that nonstoichiometric $Ni_{1-x}O$ contains singly ionized metal vacancies as the predominant point defects. At T=1173K and $Po_2=0.21atm$, the nonstoichiometry, x was $1.21{\times}10^{-4}$. The standard formation enthalpy of defects in $Ni_{1-x}O$ was found, on the basis of this defect model, to be 0.95 eV. Also the result indicates that both of singly and doubly ionized metal vacancies are simultaneously present at above 1248K.

전하량적정법에 의해 $Ni_{1-x}O$의 비화학양(nonstoichiometry)를 측정하였고 결함모델을 확인하였다. 0.1-0.21atm의 산소분압과 1123-1198K의 온도범위에서 $Ni_{1-x}O$의 비화학양은 $Po_2{^{1/4}}$에 비례하였다. 이러한 산소분압의 의존성으로부터 $Ni_{1-x}O$의 주 결함은 singly 이온화한 Ni 빈자리임을 확인할 수 있었다. T=1173K와 $Po_2=0.21atm$인 조건에서 $x=1.21{\times}10^{-4}$의 값을 가졌다. 제안된 결함모델로 부터 결함의 표준생성엔탈피를 계산하였는데 0.95 eV의 값을 가졌다. 1248K 이상의 온도에서는 doubly 이온화된 빈자리로의 전이가 나타나기 시작하였다.
