Abstract
An interatomic potential is proposed for the recently discovered family of superionic solids of the formula Na2M2TeO6, where M = Ni, Zn, Co, or Mg. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrating the quality of the potential in reproducing various structural and transport properties of this promising class of materials is presented. The study provides fresh insights on the microscopic energetics and Na+ migration pathways. Strong ion–ion correlations, resulting in a highly cooperative conduction mechanism, emerge from the study.
