Phase stability of TiO ₂ polymorphs from diffusion Quantum Monte Carlo

Journal Article Luo, Ye ; Benali, Anouar ; Shulenburger, Luke ; ... - New Journal of Physics

Titanium dioxide, TiO₂, has multiple applications in catalysis, energy conversion and memristive devices because of its electronic structure. Most of these applications utilize the naturally existing phases: rutile, anatase and brookite. Despite the simple form of TiO₂ and its wide uses, there is long-standing disagreement between theory and experiment on the energetic ordering of these phases that has never been resolved. We present the first analysis of phase stability at zero temperature using the highly accurate many-body fixed node diffusion Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method. We also include the effects of temperature by calculating the Helmholtz free energy including bothmore »« less

Fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo description of nitrogen defects in zinc oxide

Journal Article Yu, Jaehyung ; Wagner, Lucas K. ; Ertekin, Elif - Physical Review B

Using the fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo (FN-DMC) method, we evaluate the formation energies and charge transition levels of substitutional nitrogen defects in the wide-band-gap semiconductor zinc oxide. The use of a direct-solution, many-body approach inherently secures a good description of electron-electron interactions, achieving high accuracy without adjustable parameters. According to FN-DMC nitrogen is a deep acceptor with a charge transition level 1.0(3) eV above the valence-band maximum when 72-atom supercells are used. This result falls on the lower end of typically reported hybrid density functional results for the same size supercells, which range from 1.0 to 1.8 eV. Further, residualmore »« less

Zirconia and hafnia polymorphs: Ground-state structural properties from diffusion Monte Carlo

Journal Article Shin, Hyeondeok ; Benali, Anouar ; Luo, Ye ; ... - Physical Review Materials

Zirconia (zirconium dioxide) and hafnia (hafnium dioxide) are binary oxides used in a range of applications. Because zirconium and hafnium are chemically equivalent, they have three similar polymorphs, and it is important to understand the properties and energetics of these polymorphs. However, while density functional theory calculations can get the correct energetic ordering, the energy differences between polymorphs depend very much on the specific density functional theory approach, as do other quantities such as lattice constants and bulk modulus. We have used highly accurate quantum Monte Carlo simulations to model the three zirconia and hafnia polymorphs. We compare our resultsmore »« less
