Extreme anharmonicity determines the superionic transition in the prototypical antifluorite LiO

Lorenzo Bastonero, Chiara Cignarella, Nicola Marzari +1

Superionic conductors are promising electrolyte candidates for all-solid-state batteries, thanks to their liquid-like ionic mobility. In the prototypical lithium-ion oxide superion…

Searching for the thinnest metallic wire

Chiara Cignarella, Davide Campi, Nicola Marzari

One-dimensional materials have gained much attention in the last decades: from carbon nanotubes to ultrathin nanowires, to few-atom atomic chains, these can all display unique elec…
