7 KMC SIMULATIONS Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) Method to simulate the time evolution of a system where processes can occur with a known rate Conditions and assumptions: Parameters: Simulation box = 8*8*8 cubic cell (2560 atoms) steps per simulation (= from 20 ns up to 1 µs) Temperature from 300K up to 1500K (no longer Pnma structure experimentally) Doping rate between 1/64 (1.5%) and 1/4 (25%) Assumptions: Oxygen vacancies and Gadolinium dopants are fixed (initially randomly distributed) No long-range electrostatic interactions One oxygen can only welcome one proton - choice based on : i/ proton repulsion, ii/ 2 protons on the same oxygen is not a stable configuration - NB: simulations with the possibility of 4 protons per oxygen lead to similar results Main Goal : activation energy and protonic conductivity how dopant affects conduction PAGE 7 SSPC 16 SEPTEMBER 2012

12 CONCLUSION AND PROSPECTS Conclusion Proton diffusion is more efficient with inter-octahedral transfer (due to tilted structure) Proportion inter/intra-octahedral hopping decreases with doping rate Proportion hopping/reorientation increases with temperature Protonic defects are preferentially located near a dopant But not completely trapped (or all of them will be near a dopant) And activation energy slightly decreases with doping rate, suggesting an easier diffusion as we put more dopant in the material.

14 AB INITIO CALCULATIONS Conditions Uncharged supercell More realistic representation of the material No need to apply corrections [1 proton for 1 dopant] or [1 vacancy for 2 dopants] Limits of our study Only one proton in a supercell ( no effect of two protons) NB: tests with two proton facing each other, or on the same oxygen lead to unstable configurations. Only one dopant configurations where two or more dopants are neighbors are not taken into account No oxygen vacancy around SSPC 16 SEPTEMBER 2012 PAGE 14
