  1. 16. Modelling Magnetism of hcp Iron under Earth’s Inner Core Conditions : Based on first-principle DFT calculations and Machine Learning

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Teoretisk Fysik

    Author : Linda Le; [2022]
    Keywords : Machine learning; Earth’s Inner Core; hcp Iron; Electronic structure magnetism; Density functional Theory; Local magnetic moments; Ab initio molecular dynamics; ASD-AIMD-MLLSF simulation;

    Abstract : The structure of Earth’s core remains largely a mystery. The solid inner core is believed to exist in extreme pressure and temperature conditions comparable to 300 GPa and 6000 K and consists mainly of iron, Fe. READ MORE

  2. 17. Dendrite suppression during electrodeposition on lithium metal through molecular level design

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Lukas Lekberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Dendrite; Density functional theory; Solid lithium battery;

    Abstract : Här undersöks en strategi som behandlar dendrittillväxt på en solid litiumanod i ett litiumbatteri. Med hjälp av täthetfunktionalsteori adsorberades fyra flytande kristaller på litiumytan vilket ledde till en gränsskiktsstabilisering. Denna stabilisering har i en tidigare rapport länkats till dendrittillväxt i en fasfältsmodell. READ MORE

  3. 18. First principles DFT study of polyethylene insulation containing chemical impurities - implementing counterpoise correction

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Max Pierre; [2022]
    Keywords : Applied physics; HVDC cable; Polymer physics; Polyethylene; Density functional theory; Molecular dynamics; CP2K; GROMAC; Electron traps; Band gaps; Density of states; Tillämpad fysik; HVDC kabel; Polymerfysik; Polyeten; Täthetsfunktionalteori; Molekulärdynamik; CP2K; GROMACS; Elektronfällor; Bandgap; Tillståndstäthet;

    Abstract : Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of polyethylene (PE) HVDC cable insulation have been performed for systems containing four different chemical impurities: acetophenone, cumene, $\alpha$-methyl styrene and $\alpha$-cumyl alcohol. Systems were generated by molecular dynamics (MD) equilibration at four different temperatures relevant for cable insulation applications: 277 K, 293 K, 343 K and 363 K. READ MORE

  4. 19. A Density Functional Theory Study of Chemical Properties in Atoms and Simple Molecules : Numerical calculations for cylinder symmetrical molecules

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

    Author : Gustav Lönnblad; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this study is to study the ground-state of various elements including Hydrogen molecules and Heliumatoms using a self written Density Functional Theory code. We limit ourselves to simple linear moleculesusing cylindrical symmetry, for which the computational difficulty is manageable and appropriate for anundergraduate thesis. READ MORE

  5. 20. Charge transfer states at polymer solar cell interfaces : Insights from atomic-scale modeling

    Abstract : Organic solar cells (OSCs) based on non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years due to their rapidly increasing efficiency and enormous potential. In this work, the optical and electronic properties of systems containing the very promising non-fullerene acceptor PYT have been thoroughly studied with the use of the density functional theory (DFT) and the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT).
