The theoretical analysis of the process of diffusion of interstitial oxygen atoms and hydrogen molecules in silicon and germanium crystals has been performed. The calculated values of the activation energy and pre-exponential factor for an…
The diffusion path and diffusivity of oxygen in crystalline silicon are computed using an empirical interatomic potential which was recently developed for modelling the interactions between oxygen and silicon atoms. The diffusion path is…
The interstitial oxygen centers in silicon and germanium are reconsidered and compared in an analysis based on the first-principles total-energy determination of the potential-energy surface of the centers, and a calculation of their…
The mobility of O atoms at very low temperatures is not generally taken into account, despite O diffusion would add to a series of processes leading to the observed rich molecular diversity in space. We present a study of the mobility and…
The oxygen self-diffusion coefficient in UO${_2}$ has been recently studied [Cooper et al. Solid State Ionics 282 (2015) 26-30] over a range of pressures (0-10GPa) and temperatures (300-1900K) by combining molecular dynamics calculations…
We reveal the microscopic self-diffusion process of compact tri-interstitials in silicon using a combination of molecular dynamics and nudged elastic band methods. We find that the compact tri-interstitial moves by a collective…
We calculated the influence of surface tension on the barriers of oxygen ionic conductivity in nanograin ceramics. Activation energy of oxygen ions diffusion via oxygen vacancies which were considered as the dilatational centers was…
First-principles atomistic molecular dynamics simulation in the micro-canonical and canonical ensembles has been used to study the diffusion of interstitial hydrogen in $\alpha$-iron. Hydrogen to Iron ratios between $\theta=1/16 and 1/2…
Cerium oxide (ceria, CeO2) is one of the most promising mixed ionic and electronic conducting materials. Previous atomistic analysis has covered widely the effects of substitution on oxygen vacancy migration. However, an in-depth analysis…
How impurity atoms move through a crystal is a fundamental and recurrent question in materials. The previous understanding of oxygen diffusion in titanium relied on interstitial lattice sites that were recently found to be unstable, making…
At the low temperatures of interstellar dust grains, it is well established that surface chemistry proceeds via diffusive mechanisms of H atoms weakly bound (physisorbed) to the surface. Until recently, however, it was unknown whether atoms…
Silicon, despite its abundance and high energy density, remains underexplored as a carbon-free fuel, with limited data available on its combustion characteristics. In this work, the combustion behaviour of silicon particles is examined…
Atomistic computer simulations are applied to investigate the atomic structure, thermal stability, and diffusion processes in Al-Si interphase boundaries as a prototype of metal-ceramic interfaces in composite materials. Some of the most…
The energy to desorb atomic oxygen from an interstellar dust grain surface, $E_{\rm des}$, is an important controlling parameter in gas-grain models; its value impacts the temperature range over which oxygen resides on a dust grain.…
We present a detailed first-principles study which explores the configurational space along the relevant reactions and migration paths involving the formation and dissociation of interstitial carbon-oxygen complexes, $\mathrm{C_{i}O_{i}}$…
We present a theoretical study of the impact of oxygen diffusion in oxide crystals on metal dopants ionic state and the conduction type under thermal equilibrium. Oxygen vacancy formation acting as a shallow, double-electronic donor is…
Enhanced diffusion of gold atoms into silicon substrate has been studied in Au thin films of various thicknesses (2.0, 5.3, 10.9 and 27.5 nm) deposited on Si(111) and followed by irradiation with 1.5 MeV Au2+ at a flux of 6.3x10^12 ions…
Silicon films doped with Er and O were prepared by techniques of physical vapor deposition on crystalline silicon, ion beam mixing and oxygen incorporation through Ar+ and O2+ implantation, and thermal annealing. Processing steps were…
Novel nanoscale probes are opening new venues for understanding unconventional electronic and magnetic functionalities driven by multiscale lattice complexity in doped high temperature superconducting perovskites. In this work we focus on…
This article is devoted to investigation of cation self-diffusion mechanisms, taking place in UO2, UO2+x, and UO2-x crystals simulated under periodic (PBC) and isolated (IBC) boundary conditions using the method of molecular dynamics in the…
