AbstractThe structural and dynamic properties of molten lithium iodide are investigated at two pressures (334 MPa at 784 K and 1054 MPa at 915 K), using molecular dynamics simulations with Born- Mayer-Huggins type pair potentials. On increasing the pressure, the local packing of the ions changes from tetrahedral to octahedral, the self-exchange velocity in the coordination shells decreases by a factor of 0.031, DLi by a factor of 0.033 and D1 by a factor of 0.021.

In this paper, thermoelectric properties of bulk PbTe are calculated using first principles calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. The Full Potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave (FP-LAPW) method is first employed to calculate the PbTe band structure. The transport coefficients (Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and electron thermal conductivity) are then computed using Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) under the constant relaxation time approximation. Interatomic pair potentials in the Buckingham form are also derived using ab initio effective charges and total energy data. The effective interatomic pair potentials give excellent results on equilibrium lattice parameters and elastic constants for PbTe. The lattice thermal conductivity of PbTe is then calculated using molecular dynamics simulations with the Green-Kubo method. In the end, the figure of merit of PbTe is computed revealing the thermoelectric capability of this material, and the multiscale simulation approach is shown to have the potential to identify novel thermoelectric materials.
