Abstract
Reported complex impedance and admittance data for yttria-stabilized zirconia andβ-alumina have been studied in the light of information obtained from an ion-conducting glass. From the analysis it was found that the a.c. response of those crystalline electrolytes resembles that of a glass; namely, apart from complications such as grain boundaries and second phases, the universal nature which prevails in solid electrolytes is a change of an equivalent circuit from a parallelRC to a seriesRC′ circuit with increasing temperatures as a result of formation and development of the charge-carrier-depleted region near the electrode as ionic conduction proceeds.
