Point-Defect Segregation and Space-Charge Potentials at the Σ5(310)[001] Grain Boundary in Ceria

The atomistic structure and point-defect thermodynamics of the model Σ5(310)[001] grain boundary in CeO2 were explored with atomistic simulations. An interface with a double-diamond-shaped structural repeat unit was found to have the lowest energy. Segregation energies were calculated for oxygen v...
