SrTiO $_3$和其他候选正交相的层状正交后钙钛矿相在压力下的不稳定性

Instability of the layered orthorhombic post-perovskite phase of SrTiO$_3$ and other candidate orthorhombic phases under pressure

Churna Bhandari, Walter R. L. Lambrecht

摘要:

虽然空间群为$I4/mcm$的四元反铁电畸变(AFD)相对于SrTiO $_3$在低于105 K时出现是公知的,但是在文献中也存在正交相的一些暗示,或者在较低温度和高压下。先前提出的SrTiO $_3$的正交层状结构,称为具有空间群$Cmcm$的后钙钛矿或CaIrO $_3$结构,已被证明具有比立方或四方相显着更高的能量,并且在比立方钙钛矿更大的体积下具有其最小体积。因此,它不能对应于SrTiO $_3$的高压相。我们还研究了另一种$Pnma$相位获得两个八面体旋转不同的轴。发现该相具有比$I4/mcm$相稍低的能量,尽管没有发现其母相、同相倾斜的$P4/mbm$相的存在。替代铁电四方晶系和斜方晶系结构也被认为是。在我们的零温度计算中没有发现这些现象,但在以前的文献中已经提出在更高的温度下发生。

英文摘要:

While the tetragonal antiferro-electrically distorted (AFD) phase with space group $I4/mcm$ is well known for SrTiO$_3$ to occur below 105 K, there are also some hints in literature of an orthorhombic phase, either at lower temperature at high pressure. A previously proposed orthorhombic layered structure of SrTiO$_3$, known as the post-perovskite or CaIrO$_3$ structure with space group $Cmcm$ is shown to have significantly higher energy than the cubic or tetragonal phase and to have its minimum volume at larger volume than cubic perovskite. It thus cannot correspond to a high-pressure phase of SrTiO$_3$. We also study an alternative $Pnma$ phase obtained by two octahedral rotations about different axes. This phase is found to have slightly lower energy than the $I4/mcm$ phase in spite of the fact that its parent, in-phase tilted $P4/mbm$ phase is not found to occur. Alternative ferro-electric tetragonal and orthorhombic structures are also considered. These are not found to occur in our zero temperature calculations but have been suggested in previous literature to occur at higher temperature.
