Argyrodite-type materials have lately sparked a lot of research interest due to their thermoelectric properties.One promising candidate is canfieldite (Ag8SnS6), which has a Pna21 orthorhombic crystal structure at room temperature (RT). Recently, a new low-temperature (LT) phase transition of canfieldite at 120K has been found. Here, we investigate structural, vibrational and thermodynamic properties of Ag8SnS6 at room- and low-temperature employing density functional theory (DFT) and lattice dynamics computations. Thermal properties calculations were based on the quasi-harmonic approximation (QHA) as implemented in phonopy. We achieve good agreement with experiments. Thermal properties such as the constant-pressure heat capacity (Cp) and thermal conductivity are very close to experimental measurements. Furthermore, we compared RT and LT Ag8SnS6 Grüneisen parameters with argyrodites analogues, Ag8XS6 (X = Sn, Si, Ge), to arrive at an improved
Understanding the chemistry and nature of individual chemical bonds is essential for materials design. Bonding analysis via the LOBSTER software package has provided valuable insights into the properties of materials for thermoelectric and catalysis applications. Thus, the data generated from
bonding analysis becomes an invaluable asset that could be utilized as features in large-scale data analysis and machine learning of material properties. However, no systematic studies exist that conducted high-throughput materials simulations to curate and validate bonding data obtained from LOBSTER. Here we present an approach to constructing such a large database consisting of quantum-chemical bonding information.
This database consists of bonding data computed using Lobster for 1520 solid-state compounds consisting of insulators and semiconductors. The files are named as per ID numbers in the materials project database.
Here we provide the larger computational data JSON files for the rest of the 820 compounds. This file consists of all important LOBSTER computation output files data stored as a dictionary.
Invited for this month’s cover are researchers from Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing) in Germany, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Université catholique de Louvain, University of Oregon, Science & Technology Facilities Council, RWTH Aachen University, Hoffmann Institute of Advanced Materials, and Dartmouth College. The cover picture shows a workflow for automatic bonding analysis with Python tools (green python). The bonding analysis itself is performed with the program LOBSTER (red lobster). The starting point is a crystal structure, and the results are automatic assessments of the bonding situation based on Crystal Orbital Hamilton Populations (COHP), including automatic plots and text outputs. Coordination environments and charges are also assessed. More information can be found in the Research Article by J. George, G. Hautier, and co-workers.
