Article Synopsis
- Interfacial strain in oxide thin films is important for enhancing material properties and has the potential to improve ion conduction, particularly in multilayer thin films.
- The study reveals that while compressively strained Gd-doped CeO (GDC) thin films with Yttrium oxide (YO) show lower ion conductivity, tensile strained GDC with Samarium oxide (SmO) exhibit improved conductivity due to higher oxygen vacancy concentration.
- The research confirms that simply increasing the number of interfaces in multilayer films doesn't necessarily enhance ionic conductivity and highlights how interfacial strain can be strategically used to design better ion conductors.
