Defect chemistry, redox kinetics, and chemical diffusion of lithium deficient lithium niobate
Literature Information
Jianmin Shi, Holger Fritze, Günter Borchardt, Klaus-Dieter Becker
High-temperature optical in situspectroscopy was used to investigate the defect absorption, redox kinetics, and chemical diffusion of a lithium deficient (48.4 mol% Li2O) congruent melting lithium niobate single crystal (c-LN). Under reducing atmospheres of various oxygen activities, aO2, UV-Vis-NIR spectra measured at 1000 °C are dominated by an absorption band due to free small polarons centered at about 0.93 eV. The polaron band intensity was found to follow a power law of the form with m = −1/4. A chemical reduction model involving electrons localized on niobium ions on regular lattice sites can explain the observed defect absorption and its dependence on oxygen activity. The kinetics of reduction and oxidation processes upon oxygen activity jumps and the associated chemical diffusion coefficients are found in close agreement over a range from −0.70 to −14.70 in log aO2, indicating a reversible redox process. Assuming coupled fluxes of lithium vacancies and free small polarons for the attainment of stoichiometry, the diffusion coefficients of lithium vacancies as well as of lithium ions in the lithium deficient c-LN have been determined at 1000 °C.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
