The natural tiling approach to cation conductivity in KAlO₂ polymorphs

A detailed analysis of correlations between structural features and cation conductivity is performed for KAlO₂ polymorphs in a wide temperature range of 300-1023 K. To explore the migration maps of K⁺ cations we have used neutron diffraction data and applied for the first time a novel algorithm based on the natural tiling concept and implemented it into the program package TOPOS.
