摘要

Based on ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we generated models of liquid and amorphous InGeTe2 of interest for applications in electronic data storage. The local geometry of Ge and Te atoms in amorphous InGeTe2 is similar to that found in the extensively studied Ge2Sb2Te5 and GeTe phase-change materials already exploited in nonvolatile memory applications. Atoms of In are instead mostly fourfold coordinated in InTe4 tetrahedra, similar to the elementary units of crystalline InTe and In2Te5.

Amorphous AlB2, AlBC, and AlBN alloys: A first-principles study

V. I. Ivashchenko, P. E. A. Turchi, R. Shevchenko, Leonid Gorb, Jerzy Leszczynski

Summary: First-principles molecular dynamics simulations were used to generate samples of amorphous a-AlB2, a-AlBC, and a-AlBN alloys, which exhibited boron clustering and different structural characteristics. The phonon spectra of the amorphous samples displayed broad bands, while the alloys varied in hardness, ideal tensile strength, Debye temperature, and fracture toughness. Predictions suggest that crystalline AlB2 is closer to a brittle material, while the amorphous alloys are expected to exhibit ductile behavior and semiconductor properties with a mobility gap in a certain range.

First-principles study of the liquid and amorphous phases of Sb2Te phase change memory material

Lei Kang, Leng Chen

Summary: The local structure of liquid Sb2Te exhibits a mixed bonding geometry with an increase in Sb-Sb bonds and a decrease in Sb-Te bonds, while the amorphous Sb2Te is predominantly in an octahedral environment. This structural transformation involves the formation of homopolar bonds and the breaking of heteropolar bonds in the liquid phase, and an increase in the fraction of octahedron and a decrease in average coordination number in the amorphous phase. The octahedral geometry in both crystalline and amorphous Sb2Te enhances the local structural similarity, facilitating rapid low-energy crystallization.

First-principles mobility prediction for amorphous semiconductors

Yeonghun Lee, Yaoqiao Hu, Dongwook Kim, Suman Datta, Kyeongjae Cho

Summary: In this study, a new method was developed to predict carrier mobility in amorphous semiconductors using first-principles calculations, and the validity of this method was confirmed through quantitative comparisons with experimental data. Localization analysis provided further insights into the distinct features between amorphous metal oxides and amorphous silicon.

Unveiling the dehydrogenation mechanism of 1,1,6,6-tetracyclohexylhexane: A first-principles study

K. C. Bhamu, Jin Suk Chung, Sung Gu Kang

Summary: This study investigates the dehydrogenation of liquid organic hydrogen carrier, 1,1,6,6-tetracyclohexylhexane, using various DFT-based approaches. The results show that BN substitution can decrease the dehydrogenation energy and influence the energy barrier for dehydrogenation, indicating a change in the chemical reactivity of LOHC.

Thermal conductivity of amorphous SiO2 by first-principles molecular dynamics

Evelyne Martin, Guido Ori, Thuy-Quynh Duong, Mauro Boero, Carlo Massobrio

Summary: In this study, the AEMD/FPMD method was used to investigate the thermal conductivity of amorphous SiO2, showing a decrease in thermal conductivity for sizes smaller than 10 nm. This behavior is similar to that observed in previous studies on amorphous chalcogenides, indicating a general feature of disordered networks rather than a specific characteristic of a particular class of systems.

Amorphous Bi2Se3 structural, electronic, and topological nature from first principles

Bruno Focassio, Gabriel R. Schleder, Felipe Crasto de Lima, Caio Lewenkopf, Adalberto Fazzio

Summary: Through simulations, it was found that amorphous Bi2Se3 has a reduced energy gap and its stability is influenced by defective environments. Additionally, topologically trivial surface states similar to standard helical topological states were identified in amorphous Bi2Se3.

First Principles Study on the Dissolution Corrosion Behavior of RAFM Steel in the Liquid PbLi

Wenyi Ding, Min Zhang, Zhizhong Jiang, Mingjie Zheng, Wangli Huang

Summary: In this work, the dissolution, diffusion, bonding, and charging behavior of steel alloy elements in liquid lead-lithium (PbLi) were investigated using first principles molecular dynamics simulations. The study revealed the dissolution order of different alloy elements and the bonding between oxygen atoms and lead-lithium. These findings provide important information for understanding the corrosion behavior of advanced RAFM steel in liquid PbLi.

Hydrogen diffusion on the tin-covered tungsten surface: A first-principles study

Minghui Wang, Fangling Yang, Yuqi Chen, Tao Gao, Jianjun Wei, Zongbiao Ye, Fujun Gou

Summary: The diffusion behavior of hydrogen on tin-covered tungsten surfaces was studied using density functional theory. It was found that tin atoms strongly adsorb on the tungsten surface and can reduce the diffusion energy barriers of hydrogen, making diffusion easier. However, the coverage of tin has little impact on the diffusion of hydrogen in the sub-surface of tungsten.

Structure and Dynamics in Liquid Iron at High Pressure and Temperature. A First Principles Study

Luis E. Gonzalez, David J. Gonzalez

Summary: We studied the evolution of liquid Fe's structural and dynamic properties under different pressures using ab-initio molecular dynamics technique. The calculated static structure matches well with experimental data, indicating the presence of a local icosahedral short-range order in the liquid. The dynamic structure reveals two modes for all pressures, which can be related to the double-peak structure in the Fourier spectra of velocity autocorrelation functions. Our findings also show the existence of transverse acoustic excitation modes and changes in the electronic density of states with increasing pressure. Transport coefficients like self-diffusion, shear viscosity, and adiabatic sound velocity are compared with experimental data.

Unveiling the local structure of the amorphous metal Fe(1-X)ZrX combining first-principles-based simulations and modelling of EXAFS spectra

Giuseppe Muscas, Robert Johansson, Sebastian George, Martina Ahlberg, Dimitri Arvanitis, Rajeev Ahuja, Ralph H. Scheicher, Petra E. Jonsson

Summary: In this study, the detailed structure of amorphous Fe(1-X)ZrX alloys with different compositions was explored using atomistic simulations and experimental characterisation. The local atomic arrangements were investigated through various methods such as radial-and angular-distribution functions and Voronoi tesselation. A model based on the radial distribution functions was used to fit the experimental EXAFS data, providing a simple yet accurate description of the atomic structures for different compositions. This approach improves the understanding of structure-property relationships and facilitates the development of amorphous alloys with tailored functional properties.

First-principles study of structural and opto-electronic characteristics of ultra-thin amorphous carbon films

Xiao-Yan Liu, Lei Wang, Yi Tong

Summary: This study investigates the electronic structure and opto-electronic characteristics of ultra-thin amorphous carbon films at different densities and temperatures using density functional theory and molecular dynamic simulations. The results show that density has a significant influence on these aspects, while temperature has a weak influence. Furthermore, the transmittance of ultra-thin amorphous carbon films can be altered by adjusting the volume ratio of sp(2) to sp(3) bonding.
