ABSTRACTSeveral types of cation- and vacancy-ordering exist in the LixCoO2 battery material. The ordering patterns are of interest due to the fact that they can control the voltage in rechargeable Li batteries. We present a first-principles total energy theory which can predict both cation-and vacancy-ordering patterns at both zero and finite temperatures. Also, by calculating the energetics of the Li intercalation reaction, this theory can provide first-principles predictions of battery voltages of Lix;CoO2/Li cells. Our calculations allow us to search the entire configurational space to predict the lowest-energy ground state structures, search for large voltage cathodes, explore metastable low-energy states, and extend our calculations to finite temperatures, thereby searching for order-disorder transitions and states of partial disorder.

AbstractIn recent years the intermetallic ternary RE2MgGe2 (RE = rare earth) compounds attract interest in a variety of technological areas. We therefore investigate in the present work the structural, electronic, magnetic, and thermodynamic properties of Nd2MgGe2 and Gd2MgGe2. Spin–orbit coupling is found to play an essential role in realizing the antiferromagnetic ground state observed in experiments. Both materials show metallicity and application of a Debye-Slater model demonstrates low thermal conductivity and little effects of the RE atom on the thermodynamic behavior.
