第一性原理研究CaTiO $_3$的应变诱导铁电性

Strain-induced ferroelectricity in CaTiO$_3$ from first principles

C. -J. Eklund, C. J. Fennie, K. M. Rabe

摘要:

第一性原理计算被用来调查的钙钛矿氧化物CaTiO $_3$的结构上的外延应变的影响,特别关注的正交平衡块体$Pbnm$结构中隐藏的极性不稳定性相关的铁电相的稳定,但发现在以前的第一性原理研究的理想立方钙钛矿高对称性参考结构。在1.5%的应变,我们发现之间的$ab$ - $ePbnm$相,有利于压缩应变,和$c$ - $ePbnm$相的外延取向过渡。对于较大的拉伸应变,极性不稳定性的$c$ - $ePbnm$相和外延应变诱导的铁电相的发展获得与极化沿$<$ 110 $>$方向相对于原始钙钛矿晶格矢量的正方形基板。

英文摘要:

First principles calculations are used to investigate the effects of epitaxial strain on the structure of the perovskite oxide CaTiO$_3$, with particular focus on the stabilization of a ferroelectric phase related to a polar instability hidden in the orthorhombic equilibrium bulk $Pbnm$ structure but found in previous first-principles studies of the ideal cubic perovskite high-symmetry reference structure. At 1.5% strain, we find an epitaxial orientation transition between the $ab$-$ePbnm$ phase, favored for compressive strains, and the $c$-$ePbnm$ phase. For larger tensile strains, a polar instability develops in the $c$-$ePbnm$ phase and an epitaxial-strain-induced ferroelectric phase is obtained with polarization along a $<$110$>$ direction with respect to the primitive perovskite lattice vectors of the square substrate.
