Title: | Electronic structure and vacancy formation of Li3N | Authors: | Wu, Shunnian Dong, Zhili Boey, Freddy Yin Chiang Wu, Ping |
Keywords: | DRNTU::Engineering::Materials::Energy materials | Issue Date: | 2009 | Source: | Wu, S., Dong, Z. L., Boey, F. & Wu, P. (2009). Electronic structure and vacancy formation of Li3N. Applied Physics Letters, 94. | Series/Report no.: | Applied physics letters | Abstract: | The electronic structure and vacancy formation of Li3N were studied using first principles methods. We found Li3N exhibits strong ionic character with slight covalent bonding between N and Li. The Li vacancy formation energy decreases with an increase in nitrogen partial pressure, while the N vacancy formation energy increases with increasing nitrogen partial pressure. The Li(2) site vacancy is found to have the lowest formation energy under nitrogen-rich conditions. Formation of VLi(2)− brings about delocalization of valence electrons, and reduces the band gap by 0.2 eV. These results suggest potential ways to enhance vacancy concentration in Li3N for higher ionic conductivity. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/97178 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/6879 |
