Rezumat:

We present thermodynamic models of point defects formation in fluorite-type oxides with important technological
applications, such as hypostoichiometric ceria CeO(2-x) and plutonia PuO(2-x). The concentrations of defect species were
calculated at different temperatures and partial pressures of oxygen. To highlight some of the current capabilities of the
approach, a number of example applications, including the calculation of defect configuration entropy, and the calculation of
self and chemical diffusivities of oxygen as a function of nonstoichiometry and temperature are addressed. The results
provided by the modeling are validated against available experimental data on non-stoichiometry and oxygen diffusivity.
