Abstract
The structure of potassium ferrite KFeO2 has been studied by high-temperature powder neutron diffraction over a wide temperature range. Based on the structural data, the sizes of potassium cation migration channel have been found in the low- and high-temperature KFeO2 modifications using the TOPOS program package. In the low-temperature form, the channels are nonequivalent, and, as a result, strong anisotropy of the potassium-cation conductivity is observed. During the phase transition, the migration channel sizes increase and are equalized, which is the main cause of the jump in the conductivity.
