摘要:

电荷序驱动铁电体是一类新兴的功能材料,不同于传统的铁电体,其中电子主导的开关可以在高频下发生。尽管它们有希望,但到目前为止,只有少数表现出这种行为的系统在实验上得以实现,这激发了对新材料的需求。在这里,我们使用密度泛函理论研究人工结构的混合价固溶体La $_{1/3}$ Sr $_{2/3}$ FeO $_{3}$(LSFO),一个系统的实验研究的效果。我们的计算表明,A位阳离子(111)层状LSFO表现出铁电电荷有序相,其中反转对称性被打破,通过改变注册表的电荷顺序相对于超晶格分层。该相位是能量简并与基态中心对称相位,和计算的开关极化是39 $μ$ C/cm $^{2}$,一个显着的值所产生的电子转移Fe离子之间。我们的计算表明,人工结构的LSFO和其他混合价氧化物具有强大的电荷有序的固溶体相可以导致电荷顺序诱导的铁电性。

英文摘要:

Charge-order-driven ferroelectrics are an emerging class of functional materials, distinct from conventional ferroelectrics, where electron-dominated switching can occur at high frequency. Despite their promise, only a few systems exhibiting this behavior have been experimentally realized thus far, motivating the need for new materials. Here, we use density functional theory to study the effect of artificial structuring on mixed-valence solid-solution La$_{1/3}$Sr$_{2/3}$FeO$_{3}$ (LSFO), a system well-studied experimentally. Our calculations show that A-site cation (111)-layered LSFO exhibits a ferroelectric charge-ordered phase in which inversion symmetry is broken by changing the registry of the charge order with respect to the superlattice layering. The phase is energetically degenerate with a ground-state centrosymmetric phase, and the computed switching polarization is 39 $μ$C/cm$^{2}$, a significant value arising from electron transfer between Fe ions. Our calculations reveal that artificial structuring of LSFO and other mixed valence oxides with robust charge ordering in the solid solution phase can lead to charge-order-induced ferroelectricity.
