Abstract

Entropy contributions to the Gibbs free energy of defect formation of vacancies and interstitials in cubic In2O3 are calculated by means of first-principles calculations. We employ the supercell formalism together with a pseudo-potential and plane-wave based density functional method for the force calculations. Our results suggest that temperature-dependent contributions to the Gibbs free energies of defect formation can rise to 1.4 eV at 1000 K and therefore cause variations in the predicted defect equilibria as compared to calculations based on static energy data. We thoroughly discuss elastic contributions to the defect formation entropy at constant volume or pressure and address the correct treatment of an entropy reservoir for a binary system. Finally, we investigate the temperature dependence of the defect formation entropy and compare this to the usual high-temperature approximation.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
