Sommario:
- Superionic phase transitions have attracted extensive interest for decades due to their promising applications and rich underlying physics. In particular, complicated many-body effects and nonadiabatic dynamics are believed to play essential roles, limiting the explanatory power of phenomenological approaches and obscuring the microscopic mechanisms at play. In this work, we develop a unified theoretical framework for describing solid-state ionic conduction. After reviewing the conventional approximations, we construct a general lattice model that applies to both normal ionic and superionic conductors. By incorporating the nonadiabatic concerted-hopping mechanism and the many-body Coulomb interaction within a self-consistent mean-field scheme, we identify these two effects as the fundamental driving forces behind type-I and type-II superionic phase transitions, respectively. Our model directly reproduces key experimental observations. Within this unified framework, we further provide a comprehensive comparison between the two types of transitions. Overall, our work offers microscopic insight into superionic phase transitions and provides guidance for the design and optimization of advanced solid-state ionic conductors.
