AI总结:

通过 PAC 谱学与从头计算,揭示 $Ca_3Ti_2O_7$ 从 $A2_1am$ 到 $Acaa$ 的相变路径,并发现 EFG 温度依赖性可反映 500-800 K 间的极化减小。

摘要:

将扰动角关联谱学与从头电子结构计算相结合,用于揭示 $Ca_3Ti_2O_7$(一种杂化非本征铁电体)中从低温极性结构到高温结构相的 structural 相变路径。该方法通过监测钙位点处电场梯度张量的演化,探索了局域探针环境方法的独特特征。在 1057 K 以上观察到的局域环境证实了 $Ca_3Ti_2O_7$ 晶格中从 $A2_1am$ 对称性到正交 $Acaa$ 对称性的结构相变,这与频繁报道的从极性 $A2_1am$ 相到原型 $I4/mmm$ 相的雪崩式结构转变不一致。此外,在 $A2_1am$ 温度稳定区间内,EFG 的温度依赖性被证明对近期提出的 $Ca_3Ti_2O_7$ 铁电极化在 500-800 K 温度范围内的减小敏感。

英文摘要:

Perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy combined with $ab-initio$ electronic structure calculations is used to unravel the structural phase transition path from the low-temperature polar structure to the high-temperature structural phase in $Ca_3Ti_2O_7$, a hybrid improper ferroelectric. This procedure explores the unique features of a local probe environment approach by monitoring the evolution of the electric field gradient tensor at the calcium sites. The local environments, observed above 1057 K, confirm a structural phase transition from the $A2_1am$ symmetry to an orthorhombic $Acaa$ symmetry in the $Ca_3Ti_2O_7$ crystal lattice, disagreeing with the frequently reported avalanche structural transition from the polar $A2_1am$ phase to the aristotype $I4/mmm$ phase. Moreover, the EFG temperature dependency, within the $A2_1am$ temperature stability, is shown to be sensitive to the recently proposed $Ca_3Ti_2O_7$ ferroelectric polarization decrease within the 500-800~K temperature range.
