Introduction The definition of “first principles” calculations varies across various sub-disciplines. First principles calculations of the electronic structure of materials generally implies a series of well-controlled physical, mathematical, and numer- ical approximations that simulate the properties of actual materials in terms of their constituent electrons and nuclei. One example of the use of these techniques, is in the study of solid electrolyte materials. The general development of crystalline solids as electrolytes in battery applications has a long history as discussed in several review articles and monographs (Huggins (2009); Takada (2013)). In the present contribution, we de- scribe the use of first-principles calculations for the study of a family of solid electrolyte materials composed of Li phosphates and thiophosphates. The thin film solid electrolyte LiPON developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) (Dudney (2008); Bates et al. (2000); Yu et al. (1997); Wang et al. (1995a); Bates et al. (1995); Wang et al. (1995b); Bates et al. (1994, 1993, 1992)), is a very widely used solid electrolyte for thin film batteries and a number of other related technologies (Patil et al. (2008)). In addition to studies at ORNL, there has been considerable research (Mascaraque et al. (2013); Kim and Wadley (2009); Hamon et al. (2006); Park et al. (2006)) on the preparation and properties of LiPON materials. One of the outstanding attributes of LiPON electrolytes is its long term stability in contact with a pure lithium anodes (Wang et al. (1996) ). LiPON electrolytes have the composition of LixPOyNz where E-mail address: natalie@wfu.edu 1875-3892 © 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
