Abstract

Large-scale quantum chemical simulations of the diffusion hops of empty cation and anion vacancies, as well as F+ and F centers in MgO crystals have been done. The atomic configurations for 224-site cluster and charge density distribution are analyzed for the equilibrium and saddle-point configurations during the defect hops. The relevant activation energy for diffusion increases monotonically in the series Va → F+ → F center.
