Abstract: The macroscopic oxygen ion conductivity in doped ceria is determined by the microscopic activation energy barriers and jump attempt frequencies of oxygen ion jumps. While the influence of the local jump environment on the migration energy is widely investigated, its influence on the attempt frequency is rarely investigated. In this work, attempt frequencies in Sm, Yb, and Gd doped ceria are calculated using density functional theory. Moreover, ionic conductivities for varying local jump attempt frequencies in different jump environments are investigated using Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. For doping along the migration pathway, where the migrating oxygen ion passes between two adjacent cations, large dopants lead to an increase and small dopants to a decrease in the attempt frequency. Sm doping in nearest neighborhood to the start position of the migrating oxygen vacancy also leads to an increase in attempt frequency. Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations show that at intermediate Sm dopant fractions oxygen vacancies frequently jump toward and away from dopants explaining why for Sm doped ceria one of the highest conductivities for a ternary cerium oxide was measured due to its low dopant-oxygen vacancy association in both nearest and next-nearest neighborhood.
