Electrical conductivity of fluorite structure phases in the {{{{ {Y }_{0.8 } }}{{{{ { Ta}_{ 0.2} {O }_{1.7 }-MgO }} system has been studied. Electrical conductivity of 8mol% MgO doped {{{{ {Y }_{0.8 } }} {{{{ {Ta }_{0.2 } {O }_{1.7 } }} fluorite phase was lower than that of the undoped {{{{ {Y }_{0.8 } }}{{{{ {Ta }_{0.2 } {O }_{1.7 } }} When {{{{ { P}_{H2O } }} was increased electrical conductivity of {{{{ {Y }_{0.8 } }}{{{{ {Ta }_{0.2 } {O }_{1.7 } }} increased linealy with {{{{ { P}`_{H2O } ^{ {1 } over {2 } } }} The {{{{ {Y }_{0.8 } }}{{{{ {Ta }_{0.2 } {O }_{1.7 } }} fluorite phase exhibited higher electrical conductivity in wet atmosphere than in dry atmosphere. The identical trend was observed from the 8mol% MgO doped {{{{ {Y }_{0.8 } }}{{{{ {Ta }_{0.2 } {O }_{1.7 } }} fluorite phase.
