退极化场非对称屏蔽引起的铁电颗粒表面电势

Surface potential at a ferroelectric grain due to asymmetric screening of depolarization fields

Yuri A. Genenko, Ofer Hirsch, Paul Erhart

摘要:

在铁电体的半导体模型中,研究了多晶材料铁电晶粒中的条畴结构产生的电去极化场的非线性屏蔽。结果表明,局域退极化场的最大强度是由电子带隙决定的,而不是由自发极化强度决定的。此外,由于电子能带弯曲和由于本征缺陷的存在而导致的场屏蔽导致晶界附近的不对称空间电荷区域,这在晶粒的表面处产生有效的偶极子层。这导致在晶粒表面和其内部之间形成1 V量级的电势差,其可以是取决于缺陷跃迁能级和浓度的任一符号。BaTiO 3的示例性受主掺杂被示出为允许在0.1和1.3V之间的区域中调节所述表面电势。

英文摘要:

Nonlinear screening of electric depolarization fields, generated by a stripe domain structure in a ferroelectric grain of a polycrystalline material, is studied within a semiconductor model of ferroelectrics. It is shown that the maximum strength of local depolarization fields is rather determined by the electronic band gap than by the spontaneous polarization magnitude. Furthermore, field screening due to electronic band bending and due to presence of intrinsic defects leads to asymmetric space charge regions near the grain boundary, which produce an effective dipole layer at the surface of the grain. This results in the formation of a potential difference between the grain surface and its interior of the order of 1 V, which can be of either sign depending on defect transition levels and concentrations. Exemplary acceptor doping of BaTiO3 is shown to allow tuning of the said surface potential in the region between 0.1 and 1.3 V.
