abstract = {The transport properties of edge dislocations comprising a
symmetrical 6° [001] tilt grain boundary in weakly
acceptor-doped SrTiO3 were investigated by means of various
experimental and computational techniques. Oxygen transport
along the dislocation array was probed by means of 18O/16O
exchange experiments under (standard) oxidising conditions
(pO2 = 5 × 10−1 bar) and also under reducing conditions
(pO2 = 7 × 10−22 bar) at T = 973 K. In both cases,
isotope profiles obtained by Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry
(SIMS) indicated no evidence of fast diffusion along the
dislocation array. Charge transport across the dislocation
array was probed in equilibrium electrical conductivity
measurements as a function of oxygen partial pressure,
10−23 ≤ pO2/bar ≤ 1 at temperatures of T/K = 950,
1050, 1100. A significant decrease in the conductivity of
the bicrystal (relative to that of a single crystal) was
observed under oxidising conditions, but not under reducing
conditions. These studies were complemented by static
lattice simulations employing empirical pair-potentials. The
simulations predict, that the tilt boundary comprises two
types of dislocation cores, that the formation of oxygen
vacancies is energetically preferred at both cores relative
to the bulk, and that the migration of oxygen ions along
both cores is hindered relative to the bulk. Combining all
results and literature reports, we present a comprehensive
and consistent picture of the transport properties of
dislocations in SrTiO3.},
