On the mechanisms of ionic conductivity in BaLiF3: a molecular dynamics study
Literature Information
Dirk Zahn, Sven Herrmann, Paul Heitjans
The mechanisms of ionic conductivity in BaLiF3 are investigated using molecular simulations. Direct molecular dynamics simulations of (quasi) single crystalline super cell models hint at the preferred mobility mechanism which is based on fluoride interstitial (and to a smaller extent Fâ vacancy) migration. Analogous to previous modeling studies, the energy related to Frenkel defect formation in the ideal BaLiF3 crystal was found as 4â5 eV which is in serious controversy to the experimentally observed activation barrier to ionic conductivity of only 1 eV. However, this controversy could be resolved by incorporating Ba2+ â Li+ exchange defects into the elsewise single crystalline model systems. Indeed, in the neighborhood of such cation exchange defects the Fâ Frenkel defect formation energy was identified to reduce to 1.3 eV whilst the cation exchange defect itself is related to a formation energy of 1.0 eV. Thus, our simulations hint at the importance of multiple defect scenarios for the ionic conductivity in BaLiF3.

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.
