Aso S, Matsuo H, Noguchi Y. Reversible electric-field-induced phase transition in Ca-modified NaNbO 3 perovskites for energy storage applications. Sci Rep 2023; 13:6771.

Abstract
Sodium niobate (NaNbO3) is a potential material for lead-free dielectric ceramic capacitors for energy storage applications because of its antipolar ordering. In principle, a reversible phase transition between antiferroelectric (AFE) and ferroelectric (FE) phases can be induced by an application of electric field (E) and provides a large recoverable energy density. However, an irreversible phase transition from the AFE to the FE phase usually takes place and an AFE-derived polarization feature, a double polarization (P)-E hysteresis loop, does not appear. In this study, we investigate the impact of chemically induced hydrostatic pressure (pchem) on the phase stability and polarization characteristics of NaNbO3-based ceramics. We reveal that the cell volume of Ca-modified NaNbO3 [(CaxNa1-2xVx)NbO3], where V is A-site vacancy, decreases with increasing x by a positive pchem. Structural analysis using micro-X-ray diffraction measurements shows that a reversible AFE-FE phase transition leads to a double P-E hysteresis loop for the sample with x = 0.10. DFT calculations support that a positive pchem stabilizes the AFE phase even after the electrical poling and provides the reversible phase transition. Our study demonstrates that an application of positive pchem is effective in delivering the double P-E loop in the NaNbO3 system for energy storage applications.

Abstract
Elevated temperature and pressure in the earth's subsurface alters the permeability of salt formations, due to changing properties of the salt-brine interface. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to investigate the mechanisms of temperature and pressure dependence of liquid-solid interfacial tensions of NaCl, KCl, and NaCl-KCl brines in contact with (100) salt surfaces. Salt-brine dihedral angles vary between 55 and 76° across the temperature (300-450 K) and pressure range (0-150 MPa) evaluated. Temperature-dependent brine composition results in elevated dihedral angles of 65-80°, which falls above the reported salt percolation threshold of 60°. Mixed NaCl-KCl brine compositions increased this effect. Elevated temperatures excluded dissolved Na+ ions from the interface, causing the strong temperature dependence of the liquid-solid interfacial tension and the resulting dihedral angle. Therefore, at higher temperature, pressure, and brine concentrations Na-Cl systems may underpredict the dihedral angle. Higher dihedral angles in more realistic mixed brine systems maintain low permeability of salt formations due to changes in the structure and energetics of the salt-brine interface.

Abstract
A general method is presented to calculate from first principles the full set of third-order elastic constants of a material of arbitrary symmetry. The method here illustrated relies on a plane-wave density functional theory scheme to calculate the Cauchy stress and the numerical differentiation of the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor to evaluate the elastic constants. It is shown that finite difference formulas lead to a cancellation of the finite basis set errors, whereas simple solutions are proposed to eliminate numerical errors arising from the use of Fourier interpolation techniques. Applications to diamond, silicon, aluminum, magnesium, graphene, and a graphane conformer give results in excellent agreement with both experiments and previous calculations based on fitting energy density curves, demonstrating both the accuracy and generality of our new methodology to investigate nonlinear elastic behaviors of materials.

Abstract
We present a semi-analytical model for free electron production induced by multiphoton ionization in dielectric materials for short laser pulses at moderate intensities. Within this approach, the laser-induced absorption is described through the Bloch-Volkov formalism, and the electronic structure of materials is evaluated through first-principles calculations. Results obtained for NaCl and KDP (KH2PO4) materials show that significant deviations from the parabolic band approximation may occur. When the laser intensity increases, high multiphotonic orders may become the predominant mechanisms outside the centre of the Brillouin zone.

Abstract
In the present paper, we report an investigation into the high-pressure structural phase transition of rare earth antimonides (DySb and ErSb). A modified interaction potential model (MIPM) (including the covalency effect) has been developed. Phase transition pressures are associated with a sudden collapse in volume, indicating the occurrence of a first order phase transition. At compressed volumes, these compounds are found in the CsCl phase. The phase transition pressures and associated volume collapses obtained from the potential model developed here show a generally better agreement with available experimental data than others available in the literature. The elastic constants and bulk modulus are also reported. Our results are, in general, in good agreement with experimental and theoretical data where available, and provide predictions where data are unavailable.

Abstract
AbstractOnly recently have there been fully quantum-mechanical calculations of two-dimensional surface stress tensors. We have calculated total energies and stresses of semiconductor surfaces within the Local Density Approximation, using norm-conserving pseudopotentials. In order to hasten convergence of the stress with respect to basis size, it is useful to remove a fictitious tensile stress. We have calculated surface stress for the relaxed Si (111) 1×1 and 2×2-adatom surfaces, as well as for the relaxed Ge (111) 1×1 and 2×2-adatom surfaces. We have also calculated the surface stress for several chemisorbed systems, including Ga, Ge and As chemisorbed onto Si. We find a dramatic correlation between the electronic structure and chemistry of the surface, and its elastic properties.
