Correlation between conductivity or diffusivity and activation energy in amorphous solids.

J Chem Phys

October 2008

Solid State and Structural Chemistry Unit, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560 012, India.

There exist many investigations of ionic transport in a variety of glasses. These studies exhibit strong correlation between ionic conductivity and activation energy: Typically, it is found that higher conductivity is associated with lower activation energies and vice versa. Although there are explanations for this at a phenomenological level, there is no consistent physical picture to explain the correlation between conductivity and activation energy.

The short-time dynamics through a conical intersection of a macrosystem comprising a large number of nuclear degrees of freedom (modes) is investigated. The macrosystem is decomposed into a "system" part carrying a limited number of modes, and an "environment" part. An orthogonal transformation in the environment's space is introduced, as a result of which a subset of three effective modes can be identified which couple directly to the electronic subsystem.

MMM1D: a method for calculating electrostatic interactions in one-dimensional periodic geometries.

J Chem Phys

October 2005

Max-Planck-Institut für Polymerforschung, Ackermannweg 10, 55128 Mainz, Germany.

We present a new method to accurately calculate the electrostatic energy and forces on charges in a system with periodic boundary conditions in one of three spatial dimensions. We transform the Coulomb sum via a convergence factor into a series of fast decaying functions similar to the Lekner method. Rigorous error bounds for the energies and the forces are derived and numerically verified.

Continuum states from time-dependent density functional theory.

J Chem Phys

April 2005

Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Rutgers University, Piscataway, New Jersey 08854, USA.

Linear response time-dependent density functional theory is used to study low-lying electronic continuum states of targets that can bind an extra electron. Exact formulas to extract scattering amplitudes from the susceptibility are derived in one dimension. A single-pole approximation for scattering phase shifts in three dimensions is shown to be more accurate than static exchange for singlet electron-He(+) scattering.
