铁磁BiFe $_{1-x}$ Co $_{x}$ O $_{3}$固溶体室温附近的电极化的强度的巨热增强

Giant Thermal Enhancement of the Electric Polarization in Ferrimagnetic BiFe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$O$_{3}$ Solid Solutions Near Room Temperature

Cesar Menendez, Claudio Cazorla

摘要:

热激发通常降低铁电材料中的电极化的强度。在这里,我们通过第一性原理计算表明,多铁性BiFe $_{1-x}$ Co $_{x}$ O $_{3}$固溶体与$0.25 \le x \le 0.50$(BFCO)代表一个值得注意的例外,这种行为。特别是,我们发现,在室温下和$0.1$-$1.0$ GPa的中等压力下,根据组成,体BFCO的电极化的强度增加了$\sim 200$ %。这种异常行为的起源是涉及低- $T$菱面体(${\cal R}$)相和高- $T$超四面体(${\cal T}$)相的相变。${\cal R}$和${\cal T}$相在室温附近都是亚铁磁性的,每个分子式单位的近似净磁化强度为$0.13$ $μ_{B}$。类似于在本体BiFeO $_{3}$或BiCoO $_{3}$中发生的情况,${\cal T}$相由于其较高的振动熵而通过增加温度而稳定在${\cal R}$上。这种不寻常的$T$诱导的${\cal R} \to {\cal T}$相变起源于极性声子模式,涉及过渡金属和氧离子的协同位移。

英文摘要:

Thermal excitations typically reduce the electric polarization in ferroelectric materials. Here, we show by means of first-principles calculations that multiferroic BiFe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$O$_{3}$ solid solutions with $0.25 \le x \le 0.50$ (BFCO) represent a noteworthy exception to this behaviour. In particular, we find that at room temperature and for moderate pressures of $0.1$-$1.0$ GPa, depending on the composition, the electric polarization of bulk BFCO increases by $\sim 200$%. The origin of such an exceptional behavior is a phase transformation involving a low-$T$ rhombohedral (${\cal R}$) phase and a high-$T$ super-tetragonal (${\cal T}$) phase. Both ${\cal R}$ and ${\cal T}$ phases are ferrimagnetic near room temperature with an approximate net magnetization of $0.13$$μ_{B}$ per formula unit. Contrarily to what occurs in either bulk BiFeO$_{3}$ or BiCoO$_{3}$, the ${\cal T}$ phase is stabilized over the ${\cal R}$ by increasing temperature due to its higher vibrational entropy. This extraordinary $T$-induced ${\cal R} \to {\cal T}$ phase transition is originated by polar phonon modes involving concerted displacements of transition-metal and oxygen ions.
