Title: Rapidly convergent cluster expansion and application to lithium ion battery materials

Abstract

The convergence of a cluster expansion for lithium transition-metal (TM) oxides is improved by explicit treatment of TM magnetic moments. The approach is applied to layered LiCoyNi1-yO2 (NC). The ground state and low-lying excited state structures are identified, and the distribution of TM ions and magnetic moment in those structures is investigated to explain the origin of Ni-antisite ions and Jahn-Teller distortion. The developed model also reveals the mechanisms governing the atomic arrangement of NC, including in-plane Co-Co vs Co-Ni competition, magnetic frustration vs disproportionation competition, and cationic interactions spanning adjacent layers.
