Summary of PhD Thesis: Diffusional and electrical properties of oxide materials with fluorite structure

Purpose: The purpose of thesis is to study the influence of temperature, pressure and dopant on the diffusion coefficient and ionic conductivity of the bulk material as CeO2, c-ZrO2, YDC and YSZ. For YDC and YSZ thin films, we find the thickness dependence of the lattice constant, diffusion coefficient and ionic conductivity
