The parabolic rate constant for the solid-state reaction of 1/2La2O3 + 1/2Cr2O, = LaCrO3 was measured at temperatures between 1483 and 1688 K in air and at 1695 K in oxygen pressures between 2.1 X i0 and 1.5 X 10 Pa. According to Wagner's theory, the diffusion coefficient of La in LaCrO3 was evaluated using the parabolic rate constant and the standard Gibbs energy change of the reaction. The oxygen pressure dependence of the diffusion coefficient is given by D,s./m2 s' = 4.5 X l0' (P02/Pa)31'6 a03 + 1.6 x 1016 a0 (T = 1695 K)where acr,o is the activity of Cr203 and P0 is the oxygen pressure. The temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient of lanthanum ion in LaCrO3 is given by 2 -' -l ( 480 kJ mol' 316 18 D /m s = a3 x 10 expl -
