Abstract

$CaF_2$ crystals were grown with various growth rates by Bridgman method, and the electrical properties of these were studied to examine the changes of ionic conductivities with growth rates by AC Impedance Analyzer. As the growth rates were higher, $CaF_2$ crystals were grown to polycrystals from single crystal. And as grain boundaries and various defects were altered, the ionic conductivities were changed dramatically. $YF_3$ added to $CaF_2$ for disorderizing $CaF_2$ structure and improving the number of $F^-$ carriers and vacancies in $CaF_2$ crystals. Then $Ca_{1-x}Y_XF_{2+X}$ crystals were gained. And the ionic conductivities of $Ca_{1-x}Y_XF_{2+X}$ crystals were investigated with $YF_3$ addition. The ionic conductivities of $CaF_2$ and $Ca_{1-x}Y_XF_{2+X}$ crystals with temperatures were compared. In addition, the effects of clusterings and defects on the electrical properties of solid electrolytes were researched.

Bridgman법에 의해 성장속도를 변화시키면서 $CaF_2$ 결정을 육성시켰으며, 각 성장속도에 따른 이온전도도의 변화를 알아보기 위하여 AC Impedance Analyzer를 사용하여 그 전기적 특성을 고찰하였다. 성장속도가 증가함에 따라 $CaF_2$ 결정은 단결정에서 다결정으로 육성되었으며, 그로인한 여러가지 결함 및 계면의 변화에 따라 이온 전도도는 크게 변화하였다. 또한, $CaF_2$ 결정을 더욱 무질서(disorder)화 시키고 여분의 불소 이온 carrier와 공공(vacancy)을 증가시키기 위하여 $YF_3$를 첨가하여 $Ca_{1-x}Y_XF_{2+X}$ 결정을 얻었으며, $YF_3$의 첨가량의 변화에 따른 $Ca_{1-x}Y_XF_{2+X}$ 결정의 이온전도도의 변화를 조사하였다. $CaF_2$ 결정과 $Ca_{1-x}Y_XF_{2+X}$ 결정의 온도변화에 따른 이온전도도의 변화를 비교하여 결함 clustering이 고체전해질의 전기적 성질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다.
