On a universal relation for defects in solids

Materials Science 2017-04-11 v1

Abstract

We show that the defect data parameters related to various defect processes, e.g., formation, migration, dielectric relaxation parameters, obey a universal law. In particular, the defect entropies scale with the defect enthalpies irrespective of the process considered. A concrete example is given here for SrF2_2 by considering the dielectric relaxation parameters (R1_1 relaxation mechanism) for crystals doped with trivalent ions of Ce, Eu and Gd, parameters for the anion Frenkel formation as well as for the migration of anion vacancy and the anion interstitial motion.
