Abstract

Nano-sized domains have been widely observed in rare-earth-doped ceria, but their structure model remains unclear. In this work, based on the study of high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) of Gd-doped ceria, the structure model of the domains was constructed by a combination of defect clusters with oxygen vacancy chains. Then, the SAED patterns were simulated using this structure model. The simulated results are consistent with the observed SAED patterns.
