CeOの熱物性及び機械物性を測定した。熱重量分析法により酸素ポテンシャルを測定し、欠陥化学モデルを用いてデータを解析した。音速測定, 共鳴超音波分光法及びナノインデンテーション法によりCeOの弾性率を得た。得られた弾性率を用いてデバイ温度及びグリュナイゼン定数を評価するとともに、その評価結果を基に比熱及び熱伝導率を計算した。熱伝導率の計算結果は実験値をよく再現し、また、不純物依存性が大きいことが示された。

The fundamental properties of CeO were assessed using a range of experimental techniques. The oxygen potential of CeO was measured by the thermogravimetric technique, and a numerical fit for the oxygen potential of CeO is derived based on defect chemistry. Mechanical properties of CeO were obtained using sound velocity measurement, resonant ultrasound spectroscopy and nanoindentation. The obtained mechanical properties of CeO are then used to evaluate the Debye temperature and Gruneisen constant. The heat capacity and thermal conductivity of CeO were also calculated using the Debye temperature and the Gruneisen constant. Finally, the thermal conductivity was calculated based upon laser flash analysis measurements. This result demonstrates that the thermal conductivity has strong dependence upon material purity.
