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 surface, 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.
We use textit{ab initio} molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the properties of the dry surface of pure silica and sodium silicate glasses. The surface layers are defined based on the atomic distributions along the direction ($z-$direction)
Based on density-functional perturbation theory we have computed the photoelastic tensor of a model of sodium silicate glass of composition (Na$_2$O)$_{0.25}$(SiO$_2$)$_{0.75}$ (NS3). The model (containig 84 atoms) is obtained by quenching from the m
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 sit
We have performed systematic density functional calculations and evaluated thermoelectric properties, See- beck coefficient and anomalous Nernst coefficient of half-Heusler comounds CoMSb(M=Sc, Ti, V, Cr, and Mn). The carrier concentration dependence
Magnesium alanate Mg(AlH4)2 has recently raised interest as a potential material for hydrogen storage. We apply ab initio calculations to characterize structural, electronic and energetic properties of Mg(AlH4)2. Density functional theory calculation
