Schematics of local relaxations in YSZ as reported in the literature (Frey et al., 2005; Khan et al., 1998; Fèvre et al., 2005). Oxygen ions (red) relax along 〈1, 0, 0〉 towards a neighbouring vacancy, next neighbour (NN) Zr ions relax along 〈1, 1, 1〉 away from the vacancy, while next nearest neighbour (NNN) dopant ions do not show significant relaxations. |
