BiFeO3畴壁中八面体转动与导电性的联系

On the link between Octahedral Rotations and Conductivity in the Domain Walls of BiFeO3

Gustau Catalan

摘要:

我们分析了八面体矫直和提高导电性的畴壁内的BiFeO3之间的假设联系。我们对109度壁的计算预测了c. a. 1%的垂直于壁的方向,和相关的矫直的八面体旋转角为4度,这是在高温金属相的BiFeO 3中观察到的。另一方面,在密切相关的稀土正铁氧体家族中,更直的八面体与带隙增加不相关,这表明BiFeO 3中八面体拉直和带隙减少之间的相关性可能是偶然的,不一定是壁处电导率增加的原因。

英文摘要:

We analyze the hypothetical link between octahedral straightening and increased conductivity inside the domain walls of BiFeO3. Our calculations for 109 degree walls predict a lattice parameter expansion of c.a. 1 percent in the direction perpendicular to the wall, and an associated straightening of the octahedral rotation angle of 4 degrees, which is comparable to that observed in the high temperature metallic phase of BiFeO3. On the other hand, in the closely related family of rare-earth orthoferrites, straighter octahedra do not correlate with increased bandgap, which suggests that the correlation between octahedral straightening and bandgap reduction in BiFeO3 is perhaps fortuitous and not necessarily the cause of increased conductivity at the walls.
