A Molecular-Dynamics Study of Ion Transport in Lithium Magnesium Chloride Solid Electrolytes
Abstract
We present the results of a molecular-dynamics study of the superionic Li^+ conductor Li_2MgCl_4. We find that both the octahedral and tetrahedral sublattices of the material play an important role in the Li^+ conduction mechanism. Both `hopping' and `continuous' diffusion modes are important in effecting ion transport.
