Abstract
A computational study of BaLiF3 is presented. Interionic potentials ar e fined to experimental data and the resulting potentials used to calc ulate the defect behaviour. Energies of formation of basic defects are obtained and used to predict intrinsic disorder and to calculate acti vation energies for ion migration. This information is used to suggest the possible mechanisms involved in the ionic conductivity of the mat erial.
