Extract

This article briefly reviews the relationships between point defects and ion diffusion in nonstoichiometric ionic crystals, with special emphasis on cubic oxides. It focuses on crystalline materials with negligibly small concentrations of nonequilibrium defects such as dislocations and grain boundaries. First, the concepts used to analyze the point defect structure and the diffusion of ions in nonstoichiometric crystals will be discussed. Then, specific oxides will be considered as examples. These oxides are manganosite, Mn1−ΔO, and spinels of the type Me3−δO4 with Fe and Mn cations, respectively.
