Abstract :

This presentation describes the recently proposed a new comprehensive defect-crystal-chemistry approach as a possible unified
generalized Vegard-Law (VL) description of non-Vegardianity and non-random defect structure of entitled so-called defectfluorite
oxides as inherently coupled two sides of distortion-dilation in macroscopic lattice parameter and microscopic ionic
radius level, respectively. It provides a new direct link to their controversial defect structure and its dependent key basic as well
as engineering properties such as oxide-ion conductivity (σ(ion)) and defect thermodynamic behavior, etc. This presentation is a
condensed review of the technology; and scientifically emphasized description of the value of Mössbauer, NMR and EXAFS, etc.,
microscopic and spectroscopic local structure data in combination with macroscopic XRD lattice parameter/crystal structure data
in both formulating and substantiating the model, and in practical engineering aspect, in view of their well-known application as
solid electrolytes in SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell) technology. I appeal its near quantitative ability to predict and describe their key
characteristic feature of ionic conductivity maximum (σ(ion)(max)) behavior in low dopant (Ln3+) content range.
