Abstract

Perovskite-based high-temperature protonic conductors have generated increased interest because of their potential use in such areas as solid-oxide fuel-cell technology. In this paper, we outline the utility of neutron scattering methods in conjunction with first-principles total-energy calculations for characterizing the proton dynamics in these materials.
