ABSTRACTLithium sodium sulfate (LiNaSO4) belongs to a group of simple inorganic salts exhibiting fast-cation conducting high-temperature phases with rotationally disordered anions. The analysis of a combination of quasielastic neutron scattering and high-frequency (10 MHz to 60 GHz) conductivity measurements in the high-temperature phase of LiNaSO4 reveals an unusual cation conduction mechanism: the Haven ratio, HR = D*/Dσ, turns out to be considerably larger than one. This behavior, to our knowledge detected for the first time in a typical fast ion conductor, can be traced back to a charge correlation factor clearly smaller than unity, indicating that charge transport is less effective than tracer transport in this material.

Electrical conductivity measurements on pure and doped KNaSO4 and K3Na(SO4)2 reveal high ionic conductivity values in the high temperature phase. High conductivity values ascribed to Na+ resemble a superionic or fast-ion conductor.

ABSTRACTPbF2 is known to exist under two different polymorphic structures. Orthorhombic α-PbF 2 is stable at ambient temperature. It has the PbC12 structure. Cubic β-PbF2 is obtained by heating α-PbF2. It does not transform back to α-PbF2 on cooling, and it seems to be infinitely stable in the metastable state under ambient conditions. β-PbF2 crystallizes in the fluorite (CaF2) type. Owing to the large number of potential interstitial sites, many F- Frenkel defects can be formed, which make β-PbF2 the highest performance fluoride ion conductor among binary fluorides. In this work, both phases of PbF2 have been ball milled. Milling α-PbF2 results in a partial transformation to microcrystalline β-PbF2. The energy required for obtaining the high temperature phase is probably provided in the mechanical form. Milling β-PbF2 leads to partial amorphization and formation of α-PbF2. In this case, milling transforms the high temperature polymorph to the low temperature form, by providing the energy required to overcome the activation energy that keeps PbF2 trapped in the high temperature β-form after cooling.

AbstractA structure earlier reported for K3NdSi6O15 suggests the possibility for fast—ion conduction by virtue of K+ ions which not only reside in connected channels, but which also display very large thermal vibration amplitudes. No properties of the phase had heretofore been examined. Crystals up to 2mm inlength have been synthesized under a variety of hydrothermal conditions. Refinement of the structure with single crystal x-ray data to a residual of 8.3% confirms the composition and structure of our crystals and reveals a very high thermal vibration amplitude along c for K+ ions which reside in interconnected [001] channels.A reversible phase transformation has been discovered at 180ºC with a heat of transformation of 4J/g. Preliminary measurements of the conductivity of the high temperature phase yield a preexponential factor of 3.4/cm and an activation energy of 0.61ev along [001], indicating that this compound is not a particularly good fast—ion conductor.
