Investigation of Au(111)/Li<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> Interface Structures using Neural Network Potential

POSTER

Abstract

Recently, the construction of interatomic potentials using first-principles calculation data and machine-learning technique has been widely tried because of higher reliability and low computational costs. In the present study, we have tried to construct the four-element neural network potential (NNP) [1,2] to investigate the Au(111)/Li3PO4 interface system, where the understanding of the interface structures and Li-ion distribution near the interface is of significance for the development of all-solid state Li-ion batteries and novel memory devices [3]. Using the constructed NNP, we then performed structure optimization with a large interface model of Au(111)/Li3PO4. In the meeting, we will discuss the calculated interface structures and the Li defect formation energies.
