Li containing transition metal oxides are known as good ionic conductors. Performing classical molecular dynamics simulations, the diffusion behavior of Li ions is investigated in crystalline and amorphous phases with the stoichiometries…
A novel non-destructive methodology for operando observation of ion intercalation and the state of charge on battery electrodes is presented based on spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). The potentiality of this technique for performing…
We study the impact of phonon anharmonicity on the electronic dynamics of soft materials using a nonperturbative quantum-classical approach. The method is applied to a one-dimensional model of doped organic semiconductors with low-frequency…
While the vibrational thermodynamics of materials with small anharmonicity at low temperatures has been understood well based on the harmonic phonons approximation; at high temperatures, this understanding must accommodate how phonons…
Ion transport across solid solid interfaces is often slower than through the bulk of a material, impeding the charge and discharge rate of batteries. Designing highly conductive interfaces is challenging due to the need to probe ion…
We calculate the lattice dielectric function of strongly anharmonic rutile $\mathrm{TiO}_2$ from ab initio anharmonic lattice dynamics methods. Since an accurate calculation of the $\Gamma$ point phonons is essential for determining optical…
We present a Raman scattering study of Ca$_2$RuO$_4$, in which we investigate the temperature-dependence of the lattice dynamics and the electron-phonon interaction below the metal-insulator transition temperature ({\it T}$_{\rm MI}$).…
We apply a general first-principles approach to derive the phase diagram of metallic Lithium at ambient pressure between 0 and 350 K, including identification of candidate phases. We use ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS) to…
In the layered transition metal oxide LiNbO$_2$ the Nb$^{3+}$ ($4d^2$) ion is trigonal-prismatically coordinated with O ions, with the resulting crystal field leading to a single band system for low energy properties. A tight-binding…
We use variable-temperature x-ray thermal diffuse scattering and inelastic scattering to investigate the lattice dynamics in single crystals of multiferroic CaMn7O12 which undergo a series of orbital and magnetic transitions at low…
We investigate the effect of electron-phonon interaction on the phononic properties in the one-dimensional half-filled Holstein model of spinless fermions. By means of determinantal Quantum Monte Carlo simulation we show that the behavior…
We use our recently proposed microscopic modeling in the framework of linear response theory to investigate the complete phonon dispersion, the phonon density of states, certain phonon-induced electronic charge distributions and charge…
The high pressure lattice dynamics of rhombohedral antimony have been studied by a combination of diffuse scattering and inelastic x-ray scattering. The evolution of the phonon behavior as function of pressure was analyzed by means of two…
The monoclinic (m-LBO) and tetragonal (t-LBO) polymorphs of LiBO2 have significant potential for applications such as solid electrolytes and electrode coatings of lithium-ion batteries. While comparative experimental studies of electron and…
Enhancing the ion conduction in solid electrolytes is critically important for the development of high-performance all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Lithium thiophosphates are among the most promising solid electrolytes, as they…
We have performed ab-initio lattice dynamics and molecular dynamics studies of Li2X (X=O, S and Se) to understand the ionic conduction in these compounds. The inelastic neutron scattering measurements on Li2O have been performed across its…
In bilayer CrI3, experimental and theoretical studies suggest that the magnetic order is closely related to the layer staking configuration. In this work, we study the effect of dynamical lattice distortions, induced by non-linear phonon…
We introduce a simple and efficient model to describe the potential energy surface of lithium diffusing in a solid-state ionic conductor. First, we assume that the Li atoms are fully ionized and we neglect the weak dependence of the…
Lithium salts with low coordinating anions like bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI) have been the state-of-the-art for PEO-based 'dry' polymer electrolytes for three decades. Plasticizing PEO with TFSI-based ionic liquids (ILs) to…
Lithium-ion transport is significantly retarded in ionic liquids (ILs). In this work, we performed extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to mimic the kinetics of lithium ions in ILs using [\emph{N}-methyl-\emph{N}-propylpyrrolidium…
