Effect of Intercalated Lithium on the Electronic Band Structure of Indium Selenide

Abstract

The purpose of the project on Superionics supported by DARPA Contract No. N00014-88-K-0392 is to develop a physical understanding of the elements of a solid state battery consisting of a lithium anode, a lithium-doped borate glass separator and a lithium-intercalated InSe cathode. In this report a theoretical analysis based on a tight-binding model is presented for the electronic structure of both pure and lithium-intercalated InSe. An understanding of the electronic structure is necessary for an understanding of the electrical conductivity due to both electronic motion and lithium-ion motion. The conductivity is an important parameter for the performance of the solid state battery.
