| contents | Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectra of hydrogen in face-centered cubic palladium have been calculated considering nuclear quantum effects (NQE) at finite temperatures. The calculations were performed using semiclassical Brownian chain molecular dynamics (MD) [Shiga, J. Comput. Chem. 43, 1864 (2022)] and artificial neural network potentials with an accuracy of generalized gradient approximation of density functional theory. The calculated spectra are in good agreement with experimental spectra with respect to the peak positions and intensities corresponding to the fundamental tone and the first overtone of the vibrational excitation of hydrogen atoms. These results differ significantly from those of classical MD, indicating that NQE plays an essential role in the correct estimation of the INS spectrum. Importantly, the NQE acts as a blue-shift of the INS spectrum for hydrogen in the octahedral site, due to strong anharmonic vibrations of hydrogen on the potential surface with even symmetry. The calculated peak shifts associated with Pd lattice distortion were also in agreement with experimental results. |
