What will I learn?
This course provides practical tools to interpret, analyse, and design oxide structures optimised for rapid ion transport. You will study unit cells, space groups, Wyckoff positions, and symmetry operations, applying them to CIF files, oxide databases, and typical prototypes. Develop expertise in mapping diffusion pathways, adjusting bottlenecks, selecting dopants, and suggesting precise structural changes confidently.
