Table 1. Correlation between the degree of distortion and the oxygen vacancy concentrations in each model GB.

GB type Structural distortion [nm−2]
Oxygen vacancy densities
Stoichiometric Nonstoichiometric
Σ3[110]/{111} 8.5a 0
Σ9[110]/{221} 13.8 0
Σ11[110]/{332} 14.8 11.1 1.5
Σ13[001]/{510} 16.1 9.4 2.7
Σ5[001]/{210} 17.8a 13.9b 3.0b

The density of oxygen coordination deficient sites projected to each GB plane was calculated as a measure of structural distortion for both the stoichiometric GB and nonstoichiometric GB, while the density of oxygen vacancy projected to each GB plane obtained from EELS was shown as a measure of oxygen vacancy concentrations.
