abstract = {In contrast to dense donor-doped SrTiO3 (STO) ceramics and
single crystals, porous fine grained thick films reveal a
surprisingly fast resistivity response in reply to a change
of the oxygen partial pressure (pO(2)) within some 10 ms
even at temperatures below 900 degreesC. Although this
unexpected behavior was attributed to a grain boundary
effect, the resistivity versus PO2 plot shows a similar
characteristic as found for dense ceramics or single
crystals, respectively. This observation suggests that
cation vacancies, which significantly influence the
electrical behavior of the bulk, but which are known to
equilibrate only at highest temperatures, may also play a
key role in the formation of resistive grain boundaries in
the moderate temperature range. For mobility reasons, a
change in the cation vacancy concentration might then be
limited to a few monolayers on each side of the interface
and a very high interface density of defect states is needed
to explain the drastic resistivity change of the sensor
observed in the experiment. We propose a generalized point
defect model that involves the formation of a near-interface
space charge region. The latter is found to affect the local
defect equilibria significantly. As a consequence, the
concentration of each defect type differs from the bulk
value. The fast sensor response might then originate from a
space charge induced increase of the cation vacancy
concentration situated only near the interface that exceeds
the value predicted from electroneutral defect
considerations by 2 orders of magnitude. The local formation
of cation vacancies causes a strong depletion of electrons.
The space charge itself is formed due to the difference in
mobilities of ionic and electronic species. (C) 2004
