Abstract

The superionic conducting properties of fluorite structured compounds are discussed in this paper, starting with a brief historical overview of the topic. The current state of knowledge concerning the dynamic lattice disorder associated with the high values of ionic conductivity is summarized and illustrated using three examples taken from the author’s research program. These are chosen to highlight different aspects of the structure-property relationships within fluorite-structured superionics and, in particular, demonstrate the role of the neutron diffraction technique in investigations of compounds showing high levels of ionic conductivity. The paper concludes with an overview of some current developments within this research field.
