Abstract

We review our efforts to develop and implement robust computational approaches for exploring phase stability to facilitate the prediction-to-synthesis process of novel functional oxides. These efforts focus on a synergy between (i) electronic structure calculations for properties predictions, (ii) phenomenological/empirical methods for examining phase stability as related to both phase segregation and temperature-dependent transitions and (iii) experimental validation through synthesis and characterization. We illustrate this philosophy by examining an inaugural study that seeks to discover novel functional oxides with high piezoelectric responses. Lastly, our results show progress towards developing a framework through which solid solutions can be studied to predict materials with enhanced properties that can be synthesized and remain active under device relevant conditions.

Computationally Accelerated Discovery of High Entropy Pyrochlore Oxides

Journal Article Pitike, Krishna Chaitanya ; Macias, Antonio ; Eisenbach, Markus ; ... - Chemistry of Materials

High entropy ceramics provide enhanced flexibility for tailoring a wide range of physical properties, emerging from the diverse chemical and configurational degrees of freedom. Expanding upon the endeavors of recently synthesized high entropy ceramics in rock salt, fluorite, spinel, and perovskite structures, we explore the relative feasibility of formation of high entropy pyrochlore oxides, A₂B₂O₇, with multication occupancy of the B-site, estimated from first-principles-based thermodynamic descriptors. Subsequently, we used Monte Carlo simulations to estimate the phase composition, oxygen vacancy concentration, and local ionic segregation as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure. In synergy with the theoretical calculations, wemore »« less

Discovery of Novel Complex Metal Hydrides for Hydrogen Storage through Molecular Modeling and Combinatorial Methods

Technical Report Lesch, David A ; Adriaan Sachtler, J.W. J. ; Low, John J ; ...

UOP LLC, a Honeywell Company, Ford Motor Company, and Striatus, Inc., collaborated with Professor Craig Jensen of the University of Hawaii and Professor Vidvuds Ozolins of University of California, Los Angeles on a multi-year cost-shared program to discover novel complex metal hydrides for hydrogen storage. This innovative program combined sophisticated molecular modeling with high throughput combinatorial experiments to maximize the probability of identifying commercially relevant, economical hydrogen storage materials with broad application. A set of tools was developed to pursue the medium throughput (MT) and high throughput (HT) combinatorial exploratory investigation of novel complex metal hydrides for hydrogen storage.

Machine Learning Classical Interatomic Potentials for Molecular Dynamics from First-Principles Training Data

Journal Article Chan, Henry ; Narayanan, Badri ; Cherukara, Mathew J. ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

The ever-increasing power of modern supercomputers, along with the availability of highly scalable atomistic simulation codes, has begun to revolutionize predictive modeling of materials. In particular, molecular dynamics (MD) has led to breakthrough advances in diverse fields, including tribology, catalysis, sensing, and nanoparticle self-assembly. Additionally, recent integration of MD simulations with X-ray characterization has demonstrated promise in real-time 3-D characterization of materials on the atomic scale. The popularity of MD is driven by its applicability at disparate length/time scales, ranging from ab initio MD (hundreds of atoms and tens of picoseconds) to all-atom classical MD (millions of atoms over microseconds),more »« less

Electronic, structural and magnetic studies of niobium borides of group 8 transition metals, Nb{sub 2}MB{sub 2} (M=Fe, Ru, Os) from first principles calculations

Journal Article Touzani, Rachid St. ; Fokwa, Boniface P.T., E-mail: Boniface.Fokwa@ac.rwth-aachen.de - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The Nb{sub 2}FeB{sub 2} phase (U{sub 3}Si{sub 2}-type, space group P4/mbm, no. 127) is known for almost 50 years, but until now its magnetic properties have not been investigated. While the synthesis of Nb{sub 2}OsB{sub 2} (space group P4/mnc, no. 128, a twofold superstructure of U{sub 3}Si{sub 2}-type) with distorted Nb-layers and Os{sub 2}-dumbbells was recently achieved, “Nb{sub 2}RuB{sub 2}” is still not synthesized and its crystal structure is yet to be revealed. Our first principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations have confirmed not only the experimental structures of Nb{sub 2}FeB{sub 2} and Nb{sub 2}OsB{sub 2}, but also predict “Nb{submore »« less
