Abstract

Diffusion and solubility of helium in Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9 − δ ceramics (δ = 0, 0.015) with a submicrocrystal structure are studied by thermodesorption of helium from preliminarily saturated (in the gas phase) crystals at temperatures of 613 and 673 K in the saturated pressure range 0–21 MPa. It is shown that, in this ceramics (δ = 0), the defect-trap diffusion mechanism operates. The main positions for dissolution are neutral anion vacancies formed as a result of thermal dissociation of impurity-vacancy complexes and saturated up to ∼1 × 1019 cm−3 at P = 6 MPa and T = 673 K. The dissociation energy of the complex and the energy of helium dissolution in the neutral anion vacancy are estimated at ∼2 eV and below −0.3 eV, respectively.
