The raw data for the heat current autocorrelation function is analysed to determine the structure of the lattice thermal conductivity. It is revealed that the lattice thermal conductivity of the TiO₂ polymorphs can be decomposed into three contributions due to the acoustic short-range and long-range phonon and optical phonon modes. These three contributions can be presented in the form of simple kinetic formulae consisting of the products of the heat capacity, the square of the average phonon velocity and the average relaxation time of the acoustic short- and long-range phonon and optical phonon modes. In particular, it is shown that the average phonon velocities of the acoustic short- and long-range phonon and optical phonon modes are approximately equal to each other and can be expressed through the second-order fluctuations of the heat current vector. The effects of different simulation cell sizes at different temperatures on the lattice thermal conductivity are also investigated. Finally, the results from this work are compared with the experimental data and good agreement is found.]]> Tue 13 Apr 2021 09:30:53 AEST ]]> Analysis of thermotransport and thermal and ionic conductivity in doped lanthanum gallate (LSGM) using molecular dynamics https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52101 Tue 07 May 2024 08:39:03 AEST ]]> Composition dependence of diffusion and thermotransport in Ni-Al melts: a step towards molecular dynamics assisted databases https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30662 Tue 01 Oct 2019 13:35:39 AEST ]]> Prediction of the lattice thermal conductivity of zircon and the cubic and monoclinic phases of zirconia by molecular dynamics simulation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39964 Thu 30 Jun 2022 16:35:31 AEST ]]> A study of the thermal, ionic conductivities and thermotransport of calcia and gadolinia doped zirconia using molecular dynamics simulations https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52130 Thu 28 Sep 2023 15:10:57 AEST ]]> Atomistic modeling of diffusion in the TiAl compound https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:409 Thu 25 Jul 2013 09:09:51 AEST ]]> New functional Lennard-Jones parameters for heterogeneous molecules https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41016 Thu 21 Jul 2022 12:01:23 AEST ]]> Mechanical properties and mechanisms of alkali-activated slag paste reinforced by graphene oxide-SiO2 composite https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52649 Thu 19 Oct 2023 15:19:57 AEDT ]]> Ion Solvation Repository (IonSolvR) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38690 Thu 16 Nov 2023 11:42:26 AEDT ]]> Diffusion, thermotransport and thermodynamic properties of Ni-Zr melts: molecular dynamics study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37742 Thu 08 Apr 2021 14:32:41 AEST ]]> The thermal conductivity decomposition of calcite calculated by molecular dynamics simulation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34940 NPT, NVT and NVE ensembles in the a- and c- directions.

Purja Pun, Y. Mishin, Phil. Mag., 2009, 89, 3245]. The principal objective of the work is to quantitatively characterise and analyse thermotransport in the system, i.e. diffusion driven by a temperature gradient. In addition, direct phenomenological coefficients for mass and thermal transport are also evaluated and analysed in the process. Furthermore, the results obtained are compared with previously published data for a different model of Ni50Al50 melt with an alternative embedded-atom method potential for the alloy as well as with experiment where possible. It is found that both potentials are able to consistently predict both direct transport coefficients over a wide temperature range. However, these two potentials are found to be inconsistent in characterising the cross-coupled heat and mass transport, predicting even different directions (sign) of the heat of thermotransport. The origin of this difference is discussed in the paper in detail.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:26:15 AEDT ]]> Molecular dynamics study of phonon-mediated thermal transport in a Ni₅₀Al₅₀ melt: case analysis of the influence of the process on the kinetics of solidification https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27066 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:19 AEDT ]]> Insights into carbon nanotube and graphene formation mechanisms from molecular simulations: a review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27721 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:37 AEDT ]]> Relaxed atomic structure of the interphase boundary in a 'hemispherical nanoparticle-crystal' heterogeneous system https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3463 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:20:32 AEDT ]]> Binding sites for SiH₂/Si(0 0 1): a combined ab initio, tight-binding, and classical investigation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3389 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:18:56 AEDT ]]> The Thermal Conductivity of Magnesite, Dolomite and Calcite as Determined by Molecular Dynamics Simulation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50639 Mon 31 Jul 2023 16:27:54 AEST ]]> High-Throughput Aqueous Electrolyte Structure Prediction Using IonSolvR and Equivariant Graph Neural Network Potentials https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54029 Mon 29 Jan 2024 13:34:38 AEDT ]]> Binding of chlorinated phenylacrylonitriles to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor: computational docking and molecular dynamics simulations https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43439 Mon 19 Sep 2022 13:06:45 AEST ]]> Assessment of the density functional tight binding method for protic ionic liquids https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19863 Mon 12 Aug 2019 14:17:31 AEST ]]> Ionic and thermal conductivity of pure and doped ceria by molecular dynamics https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40417 Mon 11 Jul 2022 14:44:49 AEST ]]> Modelling and phenotypic screening of NAP-6 and 10-Cl-BBQ, AhR ligands displaying selective breast cancer cytotoxicity in vitro https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41065 50 values of 0.098, 0.97, 0.13 and 0.21 μM, respectively).

In OLEDs, devices based on TPA-NADT-TPA, TPA-ANR-TPA and DPA-ANR-DPA showed pure blue, blue green, and green emission, respectively. Also, the maximum brightness of the devices with a turn-on voltage of 3.8 V reached 8682 cd m−2 for TPA-NADT-TPA, 11 180 cd m−2 for TPA-ANR-TPA, and 18 600 cd m−2 for DPA-ANR-DPA. These new materials are also employed as hole transporting materials (HTMs) in inverted PSCs, where they were used without additives. The inverted devices based on these HTMs achieved an overall efficiency of 10.27% for TPA-NADT-TPA, 7.54% for TPA-ANR-TPA, and 6.05% for DPA-ANR-DPA under identical conditions (AM 1.5G and 100 mW cm−2).
