摘要
The crack free, homogeneous, nanocrystalline La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3 thin films have been deposited on Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 electrolyte by the spray pyrolysis technique. The films with typically 1-2 pin thickness, get crystallized on annealing at 800 degrees C. In the present work, the effect of substrate temperature on microstructure, crystallization and conductivity has been systematically studied. The deposition of film at 300 degrees C shows higher in plane electrical conductivity of 26.6 S cm(-1) with activation energy, E-a = 0.23 eV. The higher conductivity attributes to uniform, thin and dense microstructure of thin films. No interfacial reaction products between La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3 and Ce-0.9 Gd0. 1O1.95 were detected upon annealing at 800 degrees C/4 h. The uniformity and porosity distribution as a function of deposition temperature clarified from Scanning Electron micrograph. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
