Abstract
Static lattice simulation techniques were used to examine the effect of strain on oxygen-vacancy migration in the fluorite-structured oxygen-ion conducting electrolyte CeO2. Activation energies for vacancy migration, ΔEmig, were calculated as a function of isotropic and biaxial strain. In both cases, significant modification of the energetic barriers for oxygen-vacancy migration was found. Analysis of the data yields the activation volumes, ΔVmig, and activation enthalpies, ΔHmig. Simple comparisons based on the calculated data suggest that a biaxial, tensile strain of 4% may increase the in-plane conductivity at T = 500 K by close to four orders of magnitude. Enhancement of the oxygen-ion conductivity of an oxide heterostructure through space-charge effects is also discussed.
