Abstract

The LaF3-structure has been reinvestigated using diffraction data measured with twinned crystals.

LaF3 is fluoride ion conductor with essentially 3-dimensional conductivity. The conduction perpendicular to the c-axis is shown to occur on paths which include all three sets of fluorine positions in the structure and which connect symmetrically non-equivalent nearest neighbor positions only. This is confirmed by determination of anharmonic temperature factors. The temperature dependence of the harmonic thermal parameters indicates that thermal vibrations are described rather than static disorder. The magnitude of the temperature factors of fluorine is consistent with an intrinsic activation energy of 0.8 eV for fluorine conduction.
