Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigated site-by-site local atomic and electronic structures by utilizing the electron channeling effects on TEM-EELS/EDX with the incident beam direction scanned systematically.
The occupancies of Co at the Fe sites in a ferrite were quantified. The preferable sites were consistent with the fist-principles estimation according to the formation energies of Co among the Fe sites. Also, the transition metal occupations and the valence states in a Li-ion battery anode material were analyzed.
Moreover in order to improve the theoretical treatment of the phonon effects on the quantitative analyses, we initiated to calculate the phonon states using the force constants obtained by first principles calculations. As its by-product, we investigated microscopic mechanisms of lattice thermal conductivities among silicon nitride polymorphs.
