Abstract: The specific features of the fluorine-ion transport in nanostructured samples of Рb1 – xCdxF2 solid solutions are studied by the molecular dynamics method. The diffusion coefficients DF of fluorine ions in these samples increase by several orders of magnitude (at room temperature) as compared to bulk crystals. The experimentally observed maximum of fluorine diffusion at 30 mol % CdF2 could be reproduced for spherical nanoparticles more than 15 nm in size. It is shown that the mobility of the F ions located on the surface of nanospherical particles exceeds several times the mobility of fluorine anions in the particle bulk.
