The oxygen partial pressure dependent non-stoichiometry of praseodymium-cerium oxide thin films (Pr0.1Ce0.9O2-δ, PCO) is investigated at temperatures between 700 and 900 °C. The non-stoichiometry of PCO is determined gravimetrically using a high-temperature microbalance consisting of piezoelec-tric langasite (La3Ga5SiO14) resonators. Shifts of the resonance frequency are correlated with mass changes caused by oxygen incorporation/release using the Sauerbrey equation and converted into the

Sin-gle-side deposition of PCO onto the resonators results in calculated non-stoichiometry values which exceed literature data for bulk PCO. A potential explanation is mechanical bending of the resonators due to thermo-chemical expansion. Resonators coated on both sides with PCO show smaller frequen-cy shifts corresponding to a non-stoichiometry of up to δ = 0.07, which are close to literature data.
