Abstract
Atomic scale computer simulation based on energy minimization techniques ha s been used to study excess oxygen accommodation and migration in La2NiO4+d elta. The activation energy for migration in the ac plane is predicted to b e 0.29 eV, while the activation energy outside the ac plane, in the b direc tion is predicted to be 2.90 eV. The activation energies within the ac plan e are unaffected by the presence of compensating Ni3+ defects.
