Abstract

Absolute jump rates for cation-vacancy interchanges in MgO, CaO, SrO and BaO are calculated from a set of model inter-ionic potentials. Internal energies and vibrational entropies over a wide range of temperatures (i.e. at expansions which within the models correspond to these temperatures in the quasi-harmonic approximation) are evaluated and, from these, migration enthalpies and pre-exponential frequency factors are deduced. Correlations between these two diffusion parameters for the family of oxides are investigated.
