Abstract
The Young's, shear and bulk moduli of dense (>95%) Gd-doped ceria (Ce1-xGdx O2-x/2) ceramics were determined as a function of Gd content using the ultrasonic pulse-echo method and corrected for porosity according to both static and dynamic models. With increasing defect concentration (0-20 mol% Gd), the Young's and shear moduli decrease linearly by 10% while for 29 mol%, the values lie above the linear fit; the bulk modulus decreases linearly within the complete range. We conclude that structural changes, induced by oxygen vacancy ordering for x> 02, may influence the uniaxial and shear moduli, leaving the bulk modulus unaffected. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
