Mechanical stresses and strains in the microstructure of cathode materials evolving during charge/discharge cycles can reduce the long-term stability of intercalation type alkali-metal-ion batteries. In this context, crystalline compounds exhibiting zero-strain (ZS) behavior are of particular interest. Near-ZS sodiation was experimentally measured in the tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) type compound NaxFeF3. Using a first-principles method based on density functional theory, we investigate the potential of iron-based fluoride compounds with tungsten bronze (TB) structures as ZS cathode materials. Simulations were conducted to study the intercalation of the alkali metal ions Li+, Na+, and K+ into the TTB and two related TB structures of the cubic perovskite and hexagonal types. We describe compensating local volume effects that can explain the experimentally measured low volume change of NaxFeF3. We discuss the structural and chemical prerequisites of the host lattice for a ZS insertion mechanism for alkali ions in TB structures and present a qualitative descriptor to predict the local volume change, which provides a way for faster screening and discovery of novel ZS battery materials.
在充放电循环过程中,阴极材料微观结构中的机械应力和应变会降低插层型碱金属离子电池的长期稳定性。在这种情况下,表现出零应变(ZS)行为的结晶化合物尤其引人关注。实验测量了四方钨青铜(TTB)型化合物 NaxFeF3 中接近零应变的钠化现象。我们采用基于密度泛函理论的第一原理方法,研究了具有钨青铜(TB)结构的铁基氟化物化合物作为 ZS 阴极材料的潜力。模拟研究了碱金属离子 Li+、Na+ 和 K+ 在 TTB 和两种相关的立方包晶型和六方型 TB 结构中的插层。我们描述了局部体积补偿效应,它可以解释实验测量到的 NaxFeF3 的低体积变化。我们讨论了 TB 结构中碱离子 ZS 插入机制的宿主晶格结构和化学先决条件,并提出了预测局部体积变化的定性描述方法,这为更快地筛选和发现新型 ZS 电池材料提供了途径。

In a recent class of phase field crystal (PFC) models, the density order parameter is coupled to powers of its mean field. This effectively introduces a phenomenology of higher-order direct correlation functions acting on long wavelengths, which is required for modeling solid-liquid-vapor systems. The present work generalizes these models by incorporating, into a single-field theory, higher-order direct correlations, systematically constructed in reciprocal space to operate across long and short wavelengths. The correlation kernels introduced are also readily adaptable to describe distinct crystal structures. We examine the three-phase equilibrium properties and phase diagrams of the proposed model, and reproduce parts of the aluminum phase diagram as an example of its versatile parametrization. We assess the dynamics of the model, showing that it allows robust control of the interface energy between the vapor and condensed phases (liquid and solid). We also examine the dynamics of solid-vapor interfaces over a wide range of parameters and find that dynamical artifacts reported in previous PFC models do not occur in the present formalism. Additionally, we demonstrate the capacity of the proposed formalism for computing complex microstructures and defects such as dislocations, grain boundaries, and voids in solid-liquid-vapor systems, all of which are expected to be crucial for investigating rapid solidification processes.
在最近的一类相场晶体(PFC)模型中,密度阶参数与其平均场的幂次耦合。这有效地引入了作用于长波长的高阶直接相关函数现象学,而这正是固-液-汽系统建模所需要的。本研究通过在单场理论中加入高阶直接相关,对这些模型进行了概括,并在倒易空间中系统地构建了作用于长波长和短波长的高阶直接相关。引入的相关核也很容易适应于描述不同的晶体结构。我们研究了所提出模型的三相平衡特性和相图,并以铝相图为例,再现了其多功能参数化。我们对模型的动态进行了评估,结果表明该模型可对气相和凝聚相(液相和固相)之间的界面能量进行稳健控制。我们还考察了固-汽界面在广泛参数范围内的动力学特性,发现以往 PFC 模型中出现的动力学假象在本模型中不会出现。此外,我们还展示了所提出的形式主义在计算复杂微结构和缺陷(如位错、晶界和固-液-汽体系中的空隙)方面的能力,所有这些对于研究快速凝固过程都至关重要。

Interactions between polarons and oxygen vacancies in oxides, which cause them to modify one another's physical properties, are highly important for applications such as photovoltaics and ferroelectrics. While the difficulty in modeling polarons using density functional theory (DFT) calculations has been alleviated by the recent development of various techniques, including, e.g., the Hubbard-U parameter and finite-size corrections, the underlying physics of polaron interactions with defects remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the polaron-vacancy complexes in PbTiO3 have a preferred orbital configuration, different from the orbital configuration of the bulk polaron, by exploring multiple nearby local minima using DFT+U. To address the issue of polaron property dependence on the Hubbard-U value, we determine the U value via enforcement of piecewise linearity, and we employ finite-size corrections. Three local minima with different electronic configurations are found by varying the initial conditions: (i) a polaron trapped in a Ti3deg orbital on the first-nearest-neighbor Ti-ion of the oxygen vacancy (eg complex), (ii) a polaron trapped in a Ti3dt2g orbital at the same position (t2g complex), and (iii) electrons delocalized across several nearby sites and both spin channels, resulting in a semilocalized state. We find that the eg complex is the most energetically favorable state, revealing a change in the orbital of the polaron when trapped by an oxygen vacancy, since the bulk polaron is found to be in a t2g orbital. Furthermore, we demonstrate that great care must be taken to find the correct physical picture with DFT+U, since a small change in the initial conditions results in finding different local minima.
极子与氧化物中的氧空位之间的相互作用会改变彼此的物理性质,这对光伏和铁电等应用非常重要。虽然最近开发的各种技术(如 Hubbard-U 参数和有限尺寸修正)缓解了利用密度泛函理论(DFT)计算对极子进行建模的困难,但极子与缺陷相互作用的基本物理原理仍然未知。在这里,我们通过使用 DFT+U 探索多个附近的局部极小值,证明了 PbTiO3 中的极子-空位复合物具有不同于体极子轨道构型的优选轨道构型。为了解决极子性质依赖于 Hubbard-U 值的问题,我们通过执行片断线性来确定 U 值,并采用了有限尺寸修正。通过改变初始条件,我们发现了三种具有不同电子构型的局部极小值:(i) 极子被困在氧空位第一近邻 Ti-ion 的 Ti-3deg 轨道上(eg 复合物);(ii) 极子被困在同一位置的 Ti-3dt2g 轨道上(t2g 复合物);(iii) 电子被分散到附近的几个位点和两个自旋通道上,形成半定位状态。我们发现,eg 复合物是能量上最有利的状态,它揭示了极子被氧空位困住时轨道的变化,因为发现整个极子处于 t2g 轨道。此外,我们还证明了使用 DFT+U 找到正确的物理图景必须非常小心,因为初始条件的微小变化会导致找到不同的局部极小值。

With the integration of 5G in day-to-day devices and the foreseeable 6G revolution, demand for advanced radio frequency (RF) microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is growing. Aluminum scandium nitride (AlScN) has emerged as the material of choice for many of those applications due to its superior piezoelectric and electromechanical properties compared to aluminum nitride (AlN). However, synthesizing high-quality, textured AlScN thin films is challenging. Alloying of Sc in AlN induces structural frustration leading to strain, defects, disoriented grains, and disrupted crystal symmetry during growth. Higher deposition temperatures, while improving crystalline quality, risk undesirable phase precipitation and limit industrial sustainability. In addition, future MEMS technologies also demand conformal and textured coatings over diverse topographies. Addressing these challenges collectively requires new and innovative synthesis approaches. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of ionized physical vapor deposition to deposit highly oriented AlScN films with minimal defects at lower temperatures. To this end, we employ combinations of different deposition approaches, such as metal-ion synchronized (MIS) high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS). Leveraging the high ionization rates of HiPIMS and optimally timed substrate bias potentials, we selectively bombard the growing film with Al and/or Sc ions to enhance the adatom mobility at low temperatures while simultaneously providing the ability to tune stress and coat complex structures conformally. The nonequilibrium solubility of Sc in wurtzite AlN under different conditions is investigated using a combinatorial deposition approach. Promising candidates with 20% Sc composition are isolated and characterized for crystallinity and residual stress. Disoriented grains, a significant issue in growing AlScN films, are observed through atomic force microscopy and found to be completely removed by substrate rotation and application of substrate biasing. The measured piezoelectric response of the films with approximately 20% Sc concentration ranges from 6.3 to 8.8 pm/V, in line with density functional theory predictions and experimentally reported values for films deposited in a production tool with coplanar geometry. At the same time, MIS-HiPIMS-deposited films offer unique properties and flexibility to tune their stress state and structural properties, thus presenting exciting opportunities for the fabrication of advanced RF filters and next-generation MEMS devices.
随着 5G 技术在日常设备中的应用以及可预见的 6G 革命,对先进射频(RF)微机电系统(MEMS)的需求日益增长。与氮化铝(AlN)相比,氮化钪铝(AlScN)具有优异的压电和机电特性,因此已成为许多此类应用的首选材料。然而,合成高质量、有纹理的 AlScN 薄膜是一项挑战。AlN 中的 Sc 合金会导致结构失调,从而在生长过程中产生应变、缺陷、晶粒定向紊乱和晶体对称性破坏。较高的沉积温度虽然能提高晶体质量,但却有可能出现不理想的相沉淀,从而限制了工业的可持续发展。此外,未来的微机电系统技术还要求在不同形貌上使用保形和纹理涂层。要共同应对这些挑战,就必须采用新的创新合成方法。在本研究中,我们研究了电离物理气相沉积在较低温度下沉积具有最小缺陷的高取向 AlScN 薄膜的可行性。为此,我们采用了不同沉积方法的组合,如金属离子同步 (MIS) 高功率脉冲磁控溅射 (HiPIMS)。利用 HiPIMS 的高电离率和最佳定时的基底偏置电位,我们选择性地用 Al 和/或 Sc 离子轰击生长中的薄膜,以提高低温下的金刚原子迁移率,同时提供调整应力的能力,并对复杂结构进行保形镀膜。我们采用组合沉积方法研究了在不同条件下,Sc 在沃特兹AlN 中的非平衡溶解度。分离并表征了结晶度和残余应力。通过原子力显微镜观察到了在生长 AlScN 薄膜过程中的一个重要问题--失向晶粒,并发现通过基底旋转和施加基底偏压,可以完全消除失向晶粒。测量到的薄膜压电响应范围为 6.3 至 8.8 pm/V,与密度泛函理论的预测值以及在共面几何形状生产工具中沉积的薄膜的实验报告值一致。同时,MIS-HiPIMS 沉积的薄膜具有独特的性能和灵活性,可以调整其应力状态和结构特性,从而为制造先进的射频滤波器和下一代 MEMS 器件提供了令人兴奋的机会。

It was experimentally reported that light illumination leads to reduced deformation stresses in some III-V compound semiconductors such as GaP. This phenomenon is known as the negative photoplastic effect, which is expected to originate from interactions between photoexcited carriers and glide dislocations. To clarify its physical origin at the atomic and electronic levels, density-functional-theory calculations were performed for Shockley 30 partial dislocations in GaP. In the absence of excess carriers, both Ga and P cores of the partial dislocations were found to have reconstructed structures that are energetically most stable. This can be understood by the fact that dangling-bond-like states at undercoordinated atoms of the dislocation cores are removed by core reconstruction. In the presence of excess carriers that would be formed by light illumination, the reconstructed Ga and P cores were able to trap excess holes and electrons, respectively, and were subsequently transformed to unreconstructed structures. It was also found that the unreconstructed structures due to excess carriers tend to have smaller potential barrier heights for dislocation glide, as compared to the pristine reconstructed structures without any excess carriers. This is in good agreement with the increased dislocation mobility in GaP under external light illumination that has been experimentally reported.
据实验报告,光照会导致某些 III-V 族化合物半导体(如 GaP)的变形应力减小。这种现象被称为负光塑性效应,预计源于光激发载流子与滑行位错之间的相互作用。为了在原子和电子水平上阐明其物理起源,我们对 GaP 中的肖克利 30∘ 部分位错进行了密度函数理论计算。结果发现,在没有过量载流子的情况下,部分位错的 Ga 核和 P 核都具有能量最稳定的重构结构。这可以从差排核心中配位不足的原子上的类悬空键态被核心重构所消除这一事实中得到解释。在光照下会形成过剩载流子的情况下,重构的镓核和铂核能够分别捕获过剩的空穴和电子,随后转变为非重构结构。研究还发现,与没有过剩载流子的原始重构结构相比,过剩载流子导致的非重构结构往往具有较小的位错滑行势垒高度。这与实验报告的 GaP 在外部光照下位错迁移率增加的现象十分吻合。

Strain in materials changes their electronic structure, and the strain response realizes rich material properties and devices. Superconductivity under hydrostatic pressure and epitaxial strain suggests significant response to an external variable strain in a single sample, but this has not yet been demonstrated because the strain is usually a fixed parameter after sample fabrication. (La,Sr)2CuO4 films were fabricated on flexible metal substrates, and bending strain was applied to them to observe the critical temperature (Tc) and resistivity variation induced by strain. The compressive bending strain of −0.005 increased the Tc from 23.4 to 27.3 K. The magnitude of the Tc change by the bending strain is independent of the doping level and initial epitaxial strain. Furthermore, the irreversibility temperature was also improved by the compressive bending, and reasonable Tc variation with respect to the reversible strain was observed. Ab initio density functional calculation for the mother compound La2CuO4 clarified that the low-energy electronic structures are sensitive to the bending strain. While the carriers (holes) are preferentially injected into the in-plane orbitals of the CuO2 plane under the compressive strain, the tensile strain leads to the carrier injection into the perpendicular orbitals which is unfavorable to the superconductivity. The strain-sensitive high-Tc superconductor under the external strain highlights a new aspect for cuprate superconductors, which opens monitoring of the stress situation in the cryogenic systems such as superconducting magnet and liquid hydrogen container.
材料中的应变会改变其电子结构,应变响应会实现丰富的材料特性和器件。静水压力和外延应变下的超导性表明,单个样品对外部可变应变有显著的响应,但由于应变通常是样品制作后的固定参数,这一点尚未得到证实。(在柔性金属基底上制作了 (La,Sr)2CuO4薄膜,并对其施加了弯曲应变,以观察应变引起的临界温度(Tc)和电阻率变化。-0.005的压缩弯曲应变将临界温度从23.4 K提高到27.3 K。弯曲应变引起的临界温度变化幅度与掺杂水平和初始外延应变无关。此外,压缩弯曲还提高了不可逆温度,并观察到 Tc 随可逆应变的合理变化。对母体化合物 La2CuO4 的 Ab initio 密度泛函计算表明,低能电子结构对弯曲应变很敏感。在压缩应变下,载流子(空穴)优先注入到 CuO2 平面的面内轨道中,而拉伸应变则导致载流子注入到垂直轨道中,不利于超导。外部应变下的应变敏感型高锝超导体凸显了杯状超导体的一个新方面,从而开启了对超导磁体和液氢容器等低温系统中应力情况的监测。

Accurate predictions of material properties within the chemical space of transition metal fluorides (TMFs), using computational frameworks such as density functional theory (DFT), is important for advancing several technological applications.

利用密度泛函理论(DFT)等计算框架对过渡金属氟化物(TMFs)化学空间内的材料特性进行精确预测,对于推动多项技术应用非常重要。DFT 中最先进的半局部交换相关函数包括强约束和适当规范化(SCAN)和恢复正则化 SCAN(r2SCAN),两者都是元广义梯度近似(metaGGA)函数。鉴于其半局部性质,SCAN 和 r2SCAN 在模拟过渡金属高度相关的 d 电子时都容易受到自相互作用误差(SIE)的影响。因此,在这项工作中,我们评估了 SCAN 和 r2SCAN 函数在估算 TMFs 的几种性质(包括氧化还原焓、晶格几何形状、现场磁矩和带隙)时的准确性。具体来说,我们考虑了 Ti、V、Cr、Mn、Fe、Co、Ni 和 Cu 的二元氟化物。我们发现 SCAN 和 r2SCAN 在估算 TMF 的氟化焓时都表现出了较差的准确性,这主要归因于 d 电子间的 SIEs,因为这两种函数都能准确地结合 F2。因此,我们根据二元 TMF 中的实验氟化(或氧化)焓,推导出这两种函数的最佳哈伯德 U 修正值。需要注意的是,我们尝试使用线性响应理论来推导 U 修正值,结果发现 V、Fe 和 Ni 氟化物的 U 修正值是非物理的。虽然在元 GGA 函数中加入氟化焓衍生 U 修正并不会显著影响晶格体积和现场磁矩(进而影响这些属性估计与实验对比的准确性),但它确实会导致计算带隙的显著增加。请注意,与非 U 修正函数相比,几种氟化物的 U 修正带隙与混合函数计算带隙的偏差较小。此外,我们还计算了锰、铁、钴和镍氟化物中 Na 的平均闰化电压,以及 Na-V-F、Na-Cr-F、Na-Mn-F 和 Na-Fe-F 三元化合物的稳定性,作为最佳 U 值的可转移性检验。总之,我们建议采用哈伯德 U 修正来改进其他 TMF 中氧化还原焓的预测。最后,我们的研究应能提高基于 DFT 的筛选研究的准确性,从而发现新型 TMF,并将其应用于各种领域,包括储能、催化和磁性器件。

Giant spin splitting and its origin in methylhydrazinium lead halide perovskites 甲基肼卤化铅包晶石中的巨自旋分裂及其起源

Spin splitting, or removal of spin degeneracy in the electronic energy band/level, is often a measure of spin-orbit coupling strength and a way to manipulate spin degrees of freedom. We use first-principles simulations to predict giant spin splitting in methylhydrazinium lead halide (MHyPbX3, MHy=CH3NH2NH2, X = Br and Cl) hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites. The values can reach up to 408.0 meV at zero Kelvin and 281.6 meV at room temperature. The origin of the effect is traced to the large distortion of PbX3 framework, driven primarily by Pb ions in the ferroelectric Γ3 mode. The Pb displacements consist of a combination of polar and antipolar arrangements and result in up to 39.2 meV/atom enhancement of the spin-orbit coupling energy in the polar phase of the materials. The spin-orbit coupling gives origin to persistent spin textures in MHyPbX3, which are desirable for applications in spintronics and quantum computing. Our findings reveal an additional functionality for hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite and open a way for the design of more materials with giant spin splitting.
自旋分裂或电子能带/电平中自旋退行性的消除通常是自旋轨道耦合强度的衡量标准,也是操纵自旋自由度的一种方法。我们利用第一原理模拟预测了甲基肼卤化铅(MHyPbX3,MHy=CH3NH2NH2,X=Br 和 Cl)有机-无机混合包晶中的巨大自旋分裂。其值在零开尔文时可达 408.0 meV,在室温时可达 281.6 meV。这种效应的起源可追溯到 PbX3 框架的巨大变形,主要由铁电 Γ3- 模式中的铅离子驱动。Pb 位移由极性和反极性排列组合而成,导致材料极性相中自旋轨道耦合能的增强高达 39.2 meV/原子。自旋轨道耦合使 MHyPbX3 产生了持久的自旋纹理,而这种纹理正是自旋电子学和量子计算应用所需要的。我们的发现揭示了有机-无机混合包晶石的额外功能,并为设计更多具有巨大自旋分裂的材料开辟了道路。

We elucidated the core structure of screw dislocations in ordered B2 FeCo using a recent magnetic bond-order potential (BOP) [Egorov et al., Phys. Rev. Mater. 7, 044403 (2023)]. We corroborated that dislocations in B2 FeCo exist in pairs separated by antiphase boundaries. The equilibrium separation is about 50 Å, which demands large-scale atomistic simulations—inaccessible for density functional theory but attainable with BOP. We performed atomistic simulations of these separated dislocations with BOP and predicted that they reside in degenerate core structures. Additionally, dislocations induce changes in the local electronic structure and magnetic moments.

We use photo-electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements and first-principles calculations to identify and explain the properties of carbon in AlN. We present clear evidence for carbon substitution on the nitrogen site (CN). We also clarify the origin of a widely observed EPR spectra in AlN that, although often attributed to a deep donor defect, we demonstrate is surprisingly due to CN. Finally, we show the presence of CN is consistent with the absorption spectra at 4.7 eV observed in AlN.
