Abstract

In an attempt to improve the oxygen surface-exchange coefficient of yttria stabilized zirconia, we have implanted the surface with low-energy (10 keV) V and W ions. The surface concentrations of V and W under various annealing and sputtering conditions have been measured by low energy ion scattering . In addition, 18O-isotope tracer measurements have been carried out to examine the oxygen exchange behavior. For certain conditions, the oxygen uptake is enhanced.
