Tracer diffusion of oxygen in YBa2Cu3O7-x from Monte Carlo simulations of an Ising-type model.

In the research reported here, a two-dimensional Ising-type model was used to study the tracer diffusion coefficients of oxygen ions in YBa2Cu307-x (YBCO) for various values of oxygen concentration and temperature. The first chapter provides a brief introduction to the problem considered in this the...
