Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, I have investigated the influence of ruthenium oxides (SrRuO3) on the electrical conductivity under reducing gas atmospheres near room temperature. By applying bulk-sensitive (four-terminal) and surface/interface-sensitive (three-terminal and point contact) methods, I have measured the time dependence of electrical resistance of the bulk (SrRuO3) and the interface (SrRuO3-Ag epoxy) separately. Even at low temperatures (such as room temperature), an increase in interface resistance was observed under reducing gas (H2 or CO) atmospheres, indicating oxygen deficiency (reduction) occurring gradually. On the other hand, a decrease in interface resistance due to oxygen replenishment (oxidation) was observed after oxygen substitution. Applying reaction kinetics, I evaluated the reaction rate constants and activation energies at the interface.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

水素雰囲気下でも室温では温度が低いため通常,酸化物は還元されないが,本研究では界面で徐々に反応が進行していることを電気抵抗測定により明らかにした。本研究では金属ルテニウム酸化物に対して,バルク(試料内部)敏感と界面敏感の手法でそれぞれの電気抵抗測定から,バルクと界面の応答を分離・抽出することが可能であることを示した。室温・水素雰囲気下では,試料内部は影響を受けないが,界面抵抗は連続的に上昇し,逆に酸素雰囲気下では界面抵抗は元の値へ減少していく。界面での酸素欠損の時間変化を反応速度論の応用で解析できることを示しただけでなく,界面敏感プローブが化学反応の分析ツールとして有用であることも示した。
