Identifying the ground state structures of point defects in solids

Irea Mosquera-Lois et al.

Summary: Point defects are common features in crystals, and their identification is usually achieved through a combination of experimental measurements and theoretical models. However, the standard modelling approach often fails to consider energy-lowering reconstructions from the ideal crystallographic environment, resulting in missed ground state atomic configurations and compromised accuracy of calculated properties. To overcome this issue, we propose an approach that utilizes targeted bond distortions and rattling to navigate the defect configurational landscape. Applying this method to eight different materials reveals symmetry breaking in each host crystal that conventional local minimisation techniques fail to capture. The point defect distortions are classified based on their associated physico-chemical factors, and their impact on derived properties such as formation energies, concentrations, and charge transition levels is demonstrated. This work represents a significant advancement towards quantitative modelling of imperfect solids.

Density-functional theory study of point defect formation and diffusion in α-alumina and effects of applied strain and alloy doping

Min Liu et al.

Summary: By using density-functional theory simulations, the formation and diffusion of three common point defects were systematically investigated. Results show a positive correlation between diffusion energy barrier and pathway length. It was also highlighted that applying tensile strain can transform the diffusion mechanism within a-Al2O3.

Diffusion of oxygen in Mg-doped α-Al2O3: The corundum conundrum explained

Andy Paul Chen et al.

Summary: The puzzle of why the enhancement of oxygen diffusion in alpha-Al2O3 is much less than expected with an increase in Mg doping has been perplexing for over two decades. In this study, the researchers conducted a detailed investigation of point defects and defect clusters in Mg-doped alpha-Al2O3. By considering defect formation energies, charge neutrality, and environmental parameters, they were able to explain the anomalous trend in oxygen diffusivities. Their findings revealed a nonlinear relationship between Mg concentration and key native point defects, which explains the previously observed anomaly in oxygen diffusion in alpha-Al2O3.

Numerical calculation of interstitial dumbbell-mediated transport coefficients in dilute crystalline systems with non-truncated correlations

Soham Chattopadhyay et al.

Summary: In this study, we extend the Green's function approach to accurately compute transport coefficients for interstitial dumbbell-mediated mechanisms in dilute limit for arbitrary crystalline systems with non-truncated correlations. We also present and compare results of tracer correlation factors, solute drag ratios, and partial diffusion coefficient ratios in iron and nickel-based alloys, discussing some aspects of correlated solute-dumbbell motion.

Quantum embedding theories to simulate condensed systems on quantum computers

Christian Vorwerk et al.

Summary: This article discusses computational frameworks for carrying out electronic structure calculations of solids on noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers using embedding theories, focusing on a specific class of materials - solid materials hosting spin defects. These materials are promising for future quantum technologies, such as quantum computers, quantum sensors, and quantum communication devices. Although quantum simulations on quantum architectures are still in their early stages, promising results have been achieved for realistic systems.

Quantum Embedding Theory for Strongly Correlated States in Materials

He Ma et al.

Summary: Quantum embedding theories provide a promising approach to investigate strongly correlated electronic states by considering screened Coulomb interactions and effective Hamiltonians, avoiding the need for the random phase approximation or evaluating virtual electronic orbitals. This allows for a detailed derivation of the theory and generalization to active spaces composed of non-eigenstate orbitals, as demonstrated in the study of spin defects in semiconductors.

Evolutionary computing and machine learning for discovering of low-energy defect configurations

Marco Arrigoni et al.

Summary: Density functional theory (DFT) is crucial for studying point defects in materials, but finding the most stable defective structures remains challenging. This study presents an approach based on CMA-ES and machine learning models, relying on a limited set of physically interpretable hyperparameters to systematically find low-energy configurations in solids.
