Fractal analysis of surface topography of solid oxide fuel cell materials
(Видавництво Львівської політехніки, 2012) Suchaneck, G.; Ponomareva, A. A.; Brychevskyi, M.; Brodnikovskyi, I.; Vasylyev, O.; Gerlach, G.
In this work, we investigate the hierarchical surface topography of solid oxide fuel cell electrolytes consisting of zirconia stabilized with 10% Sc2O3 and 1% CeO2 (1Ce10ScSZ) synthesized at 1300-1400 °C and anodes of 60 wt% 1Ce10ScSZ and 40 wt% NiO synthesized at 1250 to 1550 °C. The fractal dimension of AFM images of the films was determined by the cube counting method, the triangulation method and by means of the PSD slope at large wavenumbers. RMS roughness and correlation lengths were derived from the fit to the model PSD.
On nucleation and growth mechanisms of EBPVD zirconia films on porous NiO-ZrO2 substrate
(Видавництво Львівської політехніки, 2012) Vasylyev, O.; Brychevskyi, M.; Brodnikovskyi, I.; Dubykivskyi, L.; Andrzejczuk, M.; Spychalski, M.; Lewandowska, M.; Kurzydłowski, K.; Steinberger-Wilckens, R.; Mertens, J.; Malzbender, J.
Thin structure of the anode-electrolyte interface (AEI) was studied, and plausible nucleation and growth mechanisms at electron-beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) were established. ZrO2 condensates with two mechanisms – planar and cellular ones like it happens at solidification from liquid phase. ZrO2 condensation on ZrO2 and NiO phases occurs with two different routes. On ZrO2 phase, layer of planar growth is formed with "defective layer by defective layer" mechanism. On NiO, the layer is cellular from the very beginning of the deposition process. The layer of planar growth is formed as "dense layer by dense layer". Deposition affected zone (DAZ) is clearly distinguished.
