Abstract: | Lattice dynamics of lithium iron orthophosphate (LiFePO4) isostructural with olivine have been investigated using the first-principles calculations taking into account the on-site Coulomb interaction within the GGA + U scheme. Born effective charge tensors, phonon frequencies at the Brillouin zone center and phonon dispersion curves are calculated and analyzed. The Born effective charge tensors exhibit anisotropy, which gives a convincing evidence for the one-dimensional Li migration tunnel along the [010] direction in LiFePO4, which has been proposed by other theoretical calculations and experimental observation. The calculated phonon frequencies at the Γ point of the Brillouin zone show good agreement with the available experimental observations. |
