Abstract
The specific features of the ion transport in α-TeO2 paratellurite crystals have been studied by the molecular dynamics method. It is shown that the ion transport in α-TeO2, which is caused by oxygen transport, is anisotropic. The highest values of the diffusion coefficients are observed along the с axis: DО ~ 1 × 10–7 cm2/s at temperatures close to the melting point. It is shown that oxygen ions jump over distances of 1.5–2.5 Å via a vacancy or interstitial mechanism.
期刊介绍:
Crystallography Reports is a journal that publishes original articles short communications, and reviews on various aspects of crystallography: diffraction and scattering of X-rays, electrons, and neutrons, determination of crystal structure of inorganic and organic substances, including proteins and other biological substances; UV-VIS and IR spectroscopy; growth, imperfect structure and physical properties of crystals; thin films, liquid crystals, nanomaterials, partially disordered systems, and the methods of studies.
