Stress-defect transport interactions in ionic solids

Mixed ionic electronic conductors (MIEC) have gained importance recently due to their roles in energy conversion devices such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). Recent experimental data have shown that an increased vacancy concentration in a MIEC changes its elastic modulus and causes volumetric expa...
