Spinels with the generic chemical formula AB2O4 have potential applications in nuclear energy and batteries. In both cases, their functionality is related to mass transport through the crystal. Here, using long-time atomistic simulations, we examine the impact of the cation structure on interstitial transport in two spinel chemistries, inverse MgGa2O4 and double MgAlGaO4. We emphasize two aspects of the transport properties: the unit mechanisms that are described by individual barriers, for which we introduce pole-figure-like plots, and the aggregate behavior of those unit mechanisms. Compared to previous work on normal spinels, we find that inversion significantly reduces the rate of interstitial transport in these structures and has an impact on the stability of defects as they move through the lattice. In particular, B cation interstitials are found to be kinetically stable only in the inverse MgGa2O4. These results provide new insight into relationship between structure, chemistry, and transport in spinels. 相似文献

The present contribution provides a perspective on the degree to which modern computational methods can be harnessed to guide the design of polymeric dielectrics. A variety of methods, including quantum mechanical ab initio methods, classical force-field based molecular dynamics simulations, and data-driven paradigms, such as quantitative structure–property relationship and machine learning schemes, are discussed. Strategies to explore, search and screen chemical and configurational spaces extensively are also proposed. Some examples of computation-guided synthesis and understanding of real polymer dielectrics are also provided, highlighting the anticipated increasing role of such computational methods in the future design of polymer dielectrics. 相似文献

We propose an efficient method to compute the dielectric permittivity of nanostructures by combining first principles density functional perturbation theory with effective medium theory. Specifically, ultrathin axially symmetric ferroelectric PbTiO3 nanowires are considered. As established previously by Pilania and Ramprasad (Phys Rev B 82:155442, 2010), (4 × 4) PbO-terminated nanowire and (4 × 4) TiO2-terminated nanowire display, respectively, a uniform axial and a vortex polarization in their ground state configurations (the latter with a non-zero axial toroidal moment). Both nanowires, regardless of the lateral surface termination, display a significantly larger dielectric constant value along the axial direction, and diminished values along the off-axis directions, as compared to the corresponding bulk values. Our results further suggest that the nanowires with unconventional vortex-type polarization states are expected to have an increased dielectric response as compared to those with conventional uniform axial polarization. The method proposed here is quite general and readily extendable to other zero-, one-, and two-dimensional nanostructures. 相似文献

We have carried out first-principles total-energy calculations of bulk and (001) surfaces of PbZrO3. The ground state for bulk PbZrO3 is determined to be the antiferroelectric orthorhombic phase, with the ferroelectric rhombohedral and paraelectric cubic
phases being 0.14 and 0.39 eV per formula unit higher in energy, respectively. PbO- and ZrO2-terminated (001) surfaces, either clean or when hydroxyl species were adsorbed were considered. Surface relaxations, in-plane
antiferroelectric distortions and modifications to the electronic structure due to the surfaces, and hydroxyl adsorbates on
the surfaces were investigated. We find that while clean surfaces retained bulk-like behavior, hydroxyl adsorbates induce
significant changes to the surface geometry as well as introduce electronic states in the band gap possibly rendering the
surfaces metallic. 相似文献

An ab initio study of structural, electronic, elastic, and dielectric properties of KMgF3 in cubic perovskite structure is presented in the framework of density functional theory. The calculations presented here employ generalized gradient approximation with projector augmented wave method. The fully relaxed structural parameters are found to be in reasonable agreement with available experimental data and with previous theoretical work. The independent elastic constants of cubic KMgF3 are derived from the derivative of total energy as a function of lattice strain in full detail. The bulk modulus and its first pressure derivative are obtained by fitting total energy versus volume data to a Murnaghan equation of state. The electronic band structure, total density of states, and projected density of states on each of the K, Mg, and F atoms are calculated and found to be in good agreement with previous theoretical results. First principles computed phonon dispersions for the cubic KMgF3 are reported for the first time. The imaginary part of frequency-dependent dielectric function is determined by summing over all possible transitions from occupied to unoccupied states and taking the appropriate transition matrix element into account. The Born effective charges computed by linear response within density functional perturbation theory are used together with the mode eigenvectors to decompose the lattice dielectric susceptibility tensor into contributions arising from individual IR-active phonon modes. Our results for the static and optical dielectric constant are in good agreement with previously reported experimental results. 相似文献
