| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The degradation phenomena such as the phase transformation in energy materials tend to link with very slow kinetic processes at an atomic scale, which makes it difficult to study the detailed mechanism simply in the framework of classical molecular dynamics due to its limited time scale. In this work, the rare event techniques have been applied to the fundamental processes such as (1) vacancy migration near Ni/NiO interface, (2) cation segregation near zirconia surface and (3) phase transition in zirconia, which successfully allows us to capture the underlying essential physics from an atomic scale.
