We calculate the density of states (DOS) and the Mulliken population of the diamond and the co-doped diamonds with different concentrations of lithium (Li) and phosphorus (P) by the method of the density functional theory, and analyze the bonding situations of the Li-P co-doped diamond thin films and the impacts of the Li-P co-doping on the diamond conductivities. The results show that the Li-P atoms can promote the split of the diamond energy band near the Fermi level, and improve the electron conductivities of the Li-P co-doped diamond thin films, or even make the Li-P co-doped diamond from semiconductor to conductor. The effect of Li-P co-doping concentration on the orbital charge distributions, bond lengths and bond populations is analyzed. The Li atom may promote the split of the energy band near the Fermi level as well as may favorably regulate the diamond lattice distortion and expansion caused by the P atom.

It is of critical importance to understand the mechanical properties change of electrode materials during lithium intercalation in the mechanical design of Li-ion batteries, for the purpose of the high reliability and safety in their applications. He
re, we investigated the mechanical properties of both bulk and single layer phosphorus during the lithium intercalation process by using the first-principles calculations. Our results show that the Youngs modulus of bulk and layered phosphorus strongly depends on the lithium intercalation. The mechanical bearing capacities, such as critical strain and stress, are significantly reduced by several times after lithium intercalation in both bulk and single layer phosphorus, which may reduce the reliability of Li-ion batteries. Our findings suggest that this remarkable mechanical properties deterioration during Li intercalation should be considered carefully in the mechanical design of Li-ion batteries, in order to keep they working reliably and safely in the charge-discharge process.
The electronic transport behaviour of materials determines their suitability for technological applications. We develop an efficient method for calculating carrier scattering rates of solid-state semiconductors and insulators from first principles in
puts. The present method extends existing polar and non-polar electron-phonon coupling, ionized impurity, and piezoelectric scattering mechanisms formulated for isotropic band structures to support highly anisotropic materials. We test the formalism by calculating the electronic transport properties of 16 semiconductors and comparing the results against experimental measurements. The present work is amenable for use in high-throughput computational workflows and enables accurate screening of carrier mobilities, lifetimes, and thermoelectric power.
In this work we present a new method for the calculation of the electrostrictive properties of materials using density functional theory. The method relies on the thermodynamical equivalence, in a dielectric, of the quadratic mechanical responses (st
ress or strain) to applied electric stimulus (electric or polarisation fields) to the strain or stress dependence of its dielectric susceptibility or stiffness tensors. Comparing with current finite-field methodologies for the calculation of electrostriction, we demonstrate that our presented methodology offers significant advantages of efficiency, robustness, and ease of use. These advantages render tractable the highthroughput theoretical investigation into the largely unknown electrostrictive properties of materials.
The bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) has attracted an increasing interest due to its potential to overcome the efficiency limit of traditional photovoltaics, and much effort has been devoted to understanding its underlying physics. However, previous w
ork has shown that theoretical models of the shift current and the phonon-assisted ballistic current in real materials do not fully account for the experimental BPVE photocurrent, and so other mechanisms should be investigated in order to obtain a complete picture of BPVE. In this Letter, we demonstrate two approaches that enable the ab initio calculation of the ballistic current originating from the electron-hole interaction in semiconductors. Using BaTiO$_3$ and MoS$_2$ as two examples, we show clearly that for them the asymmetric scattering from electron-hole interaction is less appreciable than that from electron-phonon interaction, indicating more scattering processes need to be included to further improve the BPVE theory. Moreover, our approaches build up a venue for predicting and designing materials with larger ballistic current due to electron-hole interactions.
We have performed first-principles calculations of thick slabs of Ti-doped sodium alanate (NaAlH_4), which allows to study the system energetics as the dopant progresses from the surface to the bulk. Our calculations predict that Ti stays on the surf
ace, substitutes for Na, and attracts a large number of H atoms to its vicinity. Molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the most likely product of the Ti-doping is the formation of H-rich TiAl_n (n>1) compounds on the surface, and hint at the mechanism by which Ti enhances the reaction kinetics of NaAlH_4.
