In order to reproduce the observed ionic conductivities and activation energies computationally, the potential parameters (PMs) were optimized for classical molecular dynamic simulations on Li ion conduction in the A-site deficient perovskite solid solution La056Li0.33TiO3 with disordered A-site ion arrangement. By the use of the optimized PMs, the conductivities and the activation energies were improved considerably from 4.1×10-3 Scm-1 to 4.4×10-2 Scm-1 at 800 K and 0.02 eV to 0.2 eV, respectively. The pair correlation functions calculated with the optimized PMs reveal that the Li-ions are located somewhat broadly mainly in the vicinity of the midpoint between the center of the A-site and the center of the bottleneck formed by four O2-, and that the simulated Li location is significantly related to the conductivity.
