The color-diffusion algorithm is applied toab initiomolecular dynamics simulation of hexagonalto determine the lithium diffusion coefficient and diffusion mechanisms. Even in the best solid lithium ion conductors, the time scale of ion diffusion is too long to be readily accessible byab initiomolecular dynamics at a reasonable computational cost. In our nonequilibrium method, rare events are accelerated by the application of an artificial external field acting on the mobile species; the system response to this perturbation is accurately described in the framework of linear response theory and is directly related to the diffusion coefficient, thus resulting in a controllable approximation. The calculated lithium ionic conductivity ofclosely matches published measurements, and the diffusion mechanism can be elucidated directly from the generated trajectory.
