| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The operating mechanism of energy-saving devices and next-generation battery is based on complex phenomena mediated by a huge variety of electronic states between a lot of atoms or molecules. In order to analyze such phenomena, I developed the free-energy calculation method, which describe statistical-mechanical properties of a system, coupled with the first-principles electronic-structure calculations. However, the developed calculation method is unexpectedly demanding to obtain realistic sampling. Therefore, I have also developed highly accurate interatomic potential based on artificial neural network. I investigated oxygen vacancy diffusion in ferroelectric BaTiO3 and gas generation in electrolyte solution by decomposition of the solution molecules by the calculation method developed in this research subject to obtain the valuable results for understanding these phenomena.
