Abstract

Z- and X-cut lithium niobate samples with varying lithium content from 48.3 to 50.0 mol % are investigated at high temperatures. Electrical and electromechanical properties are obtained by impedance spectroscopy. Mixed ionic and electronic conductivity in the temperature range from 500–900 ºC is found to be thermally activated. For 700 ºC and 1000 ºC the diffusion coefficient of lithium ions is calculated. The resonance frequency and the inverse Qf product are determined as a function of temperature up to 900 ºC for shear and thickness mode vibrations. In addition, the tracer diffusion of 18O is investigated by SIMS/SNMS. The 18O depth profile is analyzed and the lithium concentration dependent oxygen diffusion coefficient at 950 ºC for 49.9 mol % Li2O is determined to be DO≈ 3 × 10-17 m2/s.
