Influence of the lattice constant on defects in cerium oxide
Literature Information
The lattice constant has a crucial effect on the defect chemistry and defect kinetics in solid state materials. However, within density functional theory, some functionals perform badly in reproducing the experimental lattice constant. In this study, energies of defect formation, interaction and migration in the model system ceria were calculated for different lattice constants to investigate the impact on the energies. The GGA+U functional in the PBE and PBEsol parametrization as well as the hybrid functional HSE06 were applied and results are compared among these three commonly applied functionals. The results suggest a strong influence of the lattice constant on the energies especially regarding oxygen ion migration. This influence has an impact on the accurate prediction of defect properties from first principles but can also be utilized for specific tailoring of material properties by chemo-mechanical design. In addition, the issue of the correct lattice constant, which should be used in the defect calculations, is discussed in this paper.

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.
