First-principles molecular dynamics simulations of proton diffusion in cubic BaZrO $$_3$$ 3 perovskite under strain conditions

Abstract First-principles molecular dynamics simulations have been employed to analyse the proton diffusion in cubic BaZrO $$_3$$ 3 perovskite at 1300 K. A non-linear effect on the proton diffusion coefficient arising from an applied isometric strain up to 2  $$\%$$ % of the lattice parameter, and a...
