钛酸钡的自由能在居里温度附近作为极化的函数从Zhong、Vanderbilt和Rabe的第一原理导出的有效哈密顿量计算[Phys. Rev. Lett. 73,1861(1994)],通过与热力学积分方法耦合的分子动力学模拟。这种方法的主要特点是计算在3-D空间的自由能梯度(Px,Py,Pz)的热平均值的力作用在本地模式,这是由分子动力学的约束下得到的固定的P.一个仔细的分析状态的约束极化进行在T=280 K(~ 15-17 K低于Tc),特别是在低序参量。这些状态被发现合理均匀的小超胞尺寸(L=12和L=16),直到观察到大超胞(L=20)在低序参量的非均匀状态。然而,对于合理的超晶胞尺寸(L=12),得到的自由能曲线是非常好的协议与唯象朗道势的litterature。此外,所获得的自由能是相当不敏感的超晶胞尺寸从L=12到L=16在T=280 K,这表明界面的贡献,如果有的话,在这些尺寸在Tc附近是可以忽略不计的。该方法允许的自由能垒分离的顺电铁电相在Tc的数值估计。然而,我们的测试证明了在低温和低序参量下的相分离,与Tröster等人的结果[Phys. Rev. B 72(2005),094103]一致。
英文摘要:
The free energy of barium titanate is computed around the Curie temperature as a function of polarization from the first-principles derived effective hamiltonian of Zhong, Vanderbilt and Rabe [Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 1861 (1994)], through Molecular Dynamics simulations coupled to the method of the Thermodynamic Integration. The main feature of this approach is to calculate the gradient of the free energy in the 3-D space (Px,Py,Pz) from the thermal averages of the forces acting on the local modes, that are obtained by Molecular Dynamics under the constraint of fixed P. A careful analysis of the states of constrained polarization is performed at T=280 K (~ 15-17 K below Tc) especially at low order parameter. These states are found reasonably homogeneous for small supercell size (L=12 and L=16), until inhomogeneous states are observed at low order parameter for large supercells (L=20). However, for reasonable supercell sizes (L=12), the free energy curves obtained are in very good agreement with phenomenological Landau potentials of the litterature. Moreover, the free energy obtained is quite insensitive to the supercell size from L=12 to L=16 at T=280 K, suggesting that interfacial contributions, if any, are negligible at these sizes around Tc. The method allows a numerical estimation of the free energy barrier separating the paraelectric from the ferroelectric phase at Tc. However, our tests evidence phase separation at low temperature and low order parameter, in agreement with the results of Tröster et al [Phys. Rev. B 72 (2005), 094103].

我们验证是否以前开发的模型的KD 2 PO 4晶体,考虑到剪切应变eps 6,是能够描述纵向电场E3对KH 2 PO 4家族铁电体的影响。应变eps 6的主要影响是分裂的Slater能量的短程相关和有效的压电耦合创建的字段。计算得到的氘代KD_2PO_4和纯KH_2PO_4的TC-E_3相图、极化率、磁化率和弹性常数随场的变化关系与已有的实验数据符合得很好。为了一致地描述晶体的所有介电和压电特性,必须考虑声子自由度。
Origin of the phase change from pyrochlore to perovskite-like layered structure and a new lead free ferroelectric
以A2 B2 O 7为化学式的材料是一个著名的家族,有300多种化合物,具有丰富的性质,如铁电、多铁性和光催化性能等。一般来说,这一家族主要有两种结构,即烧绿石和类钙钛矿层状(PL)结构。以前,这些材料的结构和性能设计通常是复杂的,并且是固溶体,这使得制造复杂化,并且在性能的微观起源的研究中引入复杂性。本文报道了纯Eu_2Ti_2O_7在高温高压下发生的焦绿石-PL结构的变化,并且所形成的PL结构将通过加热而转移回来。这些结果表明,PL-烧绿石固溶体中形成的PL结构是由于纯烧绿石化合物中高压形成的PL结构调节到环境压力。这些结果表明,高压和高温可以用来操纵从烧绿石到PL结构的晶体结构,反之亦然。此外,PL Eu_2Ti_2O_7首次被确认为无铅铁电材料。
