摘要:

本文采用准弹性(QENS)和非弹性中子散射(INS)研究方法,辅以从头算分子动力学模拟(AIMD),对Li+在晶态和非晶态Li2Si2O5中的扩散和原子动力学行为进行了研究。非晶相Li_2Si_2O_5的QENS测量显示了一个窄的温度窗口(700 < T < 775 K),表现出明显的准弹性展宽,对应于Li+向晶相的快速扩散和SiO_4单元的弛豫。我们的INS测量清楚地表明,在低能量(低E)的超离子非晶相,消失在非超离子结晶相的状态(PDOS)的大声子密度的存在下,证实了低E模式在Li+扩散的作用。受挫折的能量景观和主机的灵活性(由于随机取向和振动运动的SiO4多面体单元)在扩散的Li+中起着至关重要的作用。我们使用AIMD模拟来确定这些低辐射模式涉及大幅度的Li振动和非晶相中的SiO4振动。在升高的温度下,这些振动动力学通过桨轮状耦合机制加速Li+扩散。在775 K以上,这些SiO4振动动力学通过将SiO4和Li+锁定到自由能景观的更深的最小值中并在结晶相中消失来驱动系统进入结晶相。实验和模拟都提供了有价值的信息的原子水平的随机和振动动力学Li2Si2O5和它们的作用,Li+扩散和玻璃化。

英文摘要:

We present the investigations on atomic dynamics and Li+ diffusion in crystalline and amorphous Li2Si2O5 using quasielastic (QENS) and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) studies supplemented by ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations (AIMD). The QENS measurements in the amorphous phase of Li2Si2O5 show a narrow temperature window (700 < T < 775 K), exhibiting significant quasielastic broadening corresponding to the fast Li+ diffusion and relaxation of SiO4 units to the crystalline phase. Our INS measurements clearly show the presence of large phonon density of states (PDOS) at low energy (low-E) in the superionic amorphous phase, which disappear in the non-superionic crystalline phase, corroborating the role of low-E modes in Li+ diffusion. The frustrated energy landscape and host flexibility (due to random orientation and vibrational motion of SiO4 polyhedral units) play an essential role in diffusing the Li+. We used AIMD simulations to identify that these low-E modes involve a large amplitude of Li vibrations coupled with SiO4 vibrations in the amorphous phase. At elevated temperatures, these vibrational dynamics accelerate the Li+ diffusion via a paddle-wheel like coupling mechanism. Above 775 K, these SiO4 vibrational dynamics drive the system into the crystalline phase by locking SiO4 and Li+ into deeper minima of the free energy landscape and disappear in the crystalline phase. Both experiments and simulations provide valuable information about the atomic level stochastic and vibrational dynamics in Li2Si2O5 and their role in Li+ diffusion and vitrification.
