Abstract

Tracer diffusion coefficients of Fe, DFe* in single crystals of rutile and of 0 –2.0% Fe doped rutile were measured. The oxygen pressure dependence of DFe* in pure rutile showed complicated behavior. The values of DFe* may consist of contributions from Fe2+ ions diffusing by an interstitial mechanism and from Fe3+ ions diffusing by an interstitialcy mechanism in cooperation with tetravalent titanium interstitial ions, Tii. The value of DFe* in Fe doped rutile attains a saturation value when the Fe content reaches about 0.1%, D*Fe decreases drastically when the Fe content exceeds about 0.35%. Complex impedance measurements of electrical conductivity indicate the existence of ionic conduction for Fe doped rutile containing less than 0.35% of Fe. The small ionic conductivity relative to the values of D*Fe suggests that only a small fraction of the iron ions are highly mobile. Above 0.35% Fe, the observed drastic decrease in D*Fe may result from the formation of a shear structure In highly doped rutile.
