Density functional theory molecular dynamics (DFT-MD) simulations are employed to analyze the equation of state, structural changes, the influence of varying hydrogen concentrations, and to evaluate the validity of the linear mixing approximation. Furthermore, to mitigate the computational limitations of DFT-MD, a novel approach combining stochastic-DFT (sDFT) with Langevin dynamics is introduced. %L 530 %9 theses %9 Text %9 Hochschulschrift %R 10.18453/rosdok_id00005794 %U https://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00005794 %U https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00005794-0 %U https://d-nb.info/1420686488/34 %U https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00005794
