Dynamics and Thermodynamics of a Novel Phase of NaAlH[subscript 4]

We characterize a novel orthorhombic phase (γ) of NaAlH[subscript 4], discovered using first-principles molecular dynamics, and discuss its relevance to the dehydrogenation mechanism. This phase is close in energy to the known low-temperature structure and becomes the stabler phase above 320 K, than...
