The occurrence of such ion trapping is clearly undesirable since it inevitably leads to a decrease in conductivity. In practice, in materials that contain potential traps such as charged aliovalent impurities/dopants, the conductivity values of a particular sample may actually decrease with time as the mobile ions gradually become trapped. Such ageing effects greatly limit the usefulness of a solid electrolyte in any device that needs to have a long working-life. 

Other aging effects Aging due to cementing of primary particles is difiScult to observe directly because of other simultaneous changes. Nevertheless, it may be inferred that such processes going on in the flocculated state render impossible the subsequent peptization, or dispersal, of an aged product. Kolthofif and others have discussed the cementing process for barium sulfate, lead chromate, and silver bromide. ...

These authors also highlighted the fact that the reduction in free volume on aging must lead to shrinkage of the sample during a creep measurement. Consequently, this effect opposes the deformation and negative creep may be seen in low-stress tests. When these were carried out the master curve constructed from the data at various T deviated from that expected, see Figure 14.10. Because aging effects led to an over-prediction of the strain when short-term data... 

Note that the initial distribution Po(-t ) is set up in such a way that the random walk for all particles starts from t = 0. Other choices of the time origin lead to aging effects [29]. In the following, we consider the uncoupled case (3.23) for simplicity. Using the Laplace-Fourier transform, we obtain from (3.39) and (3.40) the expression for j x, t) in terms of p x, t) ... 

The appearance of a perpendicular anisotropy in the mixed state of both amorphous and crystalline structure, where the magnetostriction becomes hard was reported by Miyazaki et al. (1997) for the (Tbo.3Dyo.7)o.33Feo.67 films fabricated above 673 K (400"C) (see fig. 17). Study of the thermal stability and the reproducibihty of those films was also carried out. For films prepared with substrate temperatures above 673 K (400"C), the magnetostriction changes remarkably after 3 months. This is due to aging effects, which lead to the formation of the Laves phase (Tb,Dy)Fe2 compound. 

As already mentioned, the use of components in plants usually begins after the period of early failures and is usually terminated before aging effects become manifest. Hence, there is good reason to assume that components in operation are inscribed in period II and therefore characterized by a constant failure rate () (t) = X = const.). This then leads to exponentially distributed lifetimes which are treated below. They are generally used in safety and risk studies (cf. [27-29]).
