The kinetics of hydrogen diffusion in C15 cubic and C14 hexagonal TiCr$_2$H$_x$ (0 < $x$ <= 4) Laves-phase hydrogen storage alloys is investigated with density functional theory (DFT) and machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs).…
The reported diffusion constants for hydrogen in silicon vary over six orders of magnitude. This spread in measured values is caused by the different concentrations of defects in the silicon that has been studied. Hydrogen diffusion is…
While the diffusion of hydrogen on silicon surfaces has been relatively well characterised both experimentally and theoretically, the diffusion around corners between surfaces, as will be found on nanowires and nanostructures, has not been…
In the paper, the processes occurring during low-temperature growth of non-hydrogenated amorphous Si and polycrystalline Si films on multilayer Si$_3$N$_4$/SiO$_2$/c-Si substrates from molecular beams under conditions of ultrahigh vacuum…
Controlling the contamination of silicon materials by iron, especially dissolved interstitial iron (Fe$_{\mathrm{i}}$), is a longstanding problem with recent developments and several open issues. Among these we have the question whether…
Defects in crystalline silicon consisting of a silicon self-interstitial atom and one, two, three, or four hydrogen atoms are studied within density-functional theory (DFT). We search for low-energy defects by starting from an ensemble of…
Using density functional theory (DFT) we report results for the electronic structure and vibrational dynamics of hydrogenated {\beta} reconstructed Silicon Carbide (001) (3x2) surfaces with various levels of hydrogenation. These results…
The coefficient of diffusion of hydrogen in crystalline silicon is calculated using tight-binding molecular dynamics. Our results are in good quantitative agreement with an earlier study by Panzarini and Colombo [Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 1636…
We have studied diffusion pathways of a silyl radical adsorbed on the hydrogenated Si (100)-(2x1) surface by density-functional theory. The process is of interest for the growth of crystalline silicon by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor…
This study investigates hydrogen permeation in titanium aluminium nitride (TiAlN) using ab initio density functional theory (DFT) for cubic and hexagonal crystal structures. Despite the significance of hydrogen barriers, the potential of…
The kinetics of hydrogen absorption by magnesium bulk is affected by two main activated processes: the dissociation of the H$_2$ molecule and the diffusion of atomic H into the bulk. In order to have fast absorption kinetics both activated…
The efficiency of silicon solar cells gradually decreases in various environments, with humidity being a key factor contributing to this decline through moisture-induced degradation (MID) involving multiple mechanisms including encapsulant…
Hydrogen point defects in silicon still hold unsolved problems, whose disclosure is fundamental for future advances in Si technologies. Among the open issues is the mechanism for the condensation of atomic hydrogen into molecules in Si…
We report first principles ab initio density functional calculations of hydrogen dynam- ics in hydrogenated amorphous silicon. Thermal motion of the host Si atoms drives H diffusion, as we demonstrate by direct simulation and explain with…
Hydrogen is a crucial source of green energy and has been extensively studied for its potential usage in fuel cells. The advent of two-dimensional crystals (2DCs) has taken hydrogen research to new heights, enabling it to tunnel through…
Measurements on helium and argon gas flow through an array of parallel, linear channels of 12 nm diameter and 200 micrometer length in a single crystalline silicon membrane reveal a Knudsen diffusion type transport from 10^2 to 10^7 in…
We use {\it ab initio} molecular dynamics simulations to study a sample of liquid silica containing 3.84 wt.% H$_2$O.We find that, for temperatures of 3000 K and 3500 K,water is almost exclusively dissolved as hydroxyl groups, the silica…
The United States Department of Energy (DOE) has set ambitious targets for hydrogen storage materials for onboard light-duty cars which are to be achieved by 2027. One of the major problems in solid hydrogen storage materials is the…
The model of hydrogen migration and of the reactions of hydrogen atoms with electrically active impurity, developed earlier, has been applied to simulate hydrogen diffusion and passivation process during plasma deuteration of silicon…
Molecular hydrogen in silicon has been studied by path-integral molecular dynamics simulations in the canonical ensemble. Finite-temperature properties of these point defects were analyzed in the range from 300 to 900 K. Interatomic…
