Abstract
The ionic conductivity of pure and sodium doped calcium fluoride crystals has been measured at temperatures up to 1 125 K, avoiding chemical reaction of the calcium fluoride with residual water vapour or oxygen. The data have been analyzed using non-linear least squares techniques to yield numerical values of the parameters governing the formation and migration of defects. These results are compared with previous experimental and theoretical work and show that the probable value of the formation energy of Frenkel defects on the anion sub-lattice is 2.7 eV and that the migration energies of anion vacancies and interstitials lie in the ranges 0.35-0.55 eV and 0.78-0.92 eV, respectively
