“…The conducting characteristics of Gd 2 O 3 , Dy 2 O 3 , Sm 2 O 3 , and Y 2 O 3 between electronic and ionic has also been investigated by Tare and Schmalzried . The electrical measurements were carried out for the oxides, and it was found that praseodymium and terbium oxides show semiconducting characteristics and that Ce, Nd, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu oxides were dielectrics . Considerable oxide ion conductivity has also appeared in these oxides.…”
