First-principles modeling of strain in perovskite ferroelectric thin films
We review the role that first-principles calculations have played in understanding the effects of substrate-imposed misfit strain on epitaxially grown perovskite ferroelectric films. We do so by analyzing the case of BaTiO3, complementing our previous publications on this subject with unpublished data to help explain in detail how these calculations are done. We also review similar studies in t...
متن کاملIsland nucleation in thin-film epitaxy: A first-principles investigation
We describe a theoretical study of the role of adsorbate interactions in island nucleation and growth, using Ag/Pt(111) heteroepitaxy as an example. From density-functional theory, we obtain the substrate-mediated Ag adatom pair interaction and we find that, past the short range, a repulsive ring is formed about the adatoms. The magnitude of the repulsion is comparable to the diffusion barrier....
متن کاملAntiferroelectricity in oxides: a reexamination
The fundamental physics of antiferroelectric oxides and their properties are reviewed. First, the difficulties in formulating a precise definition of antiferroelectricity are discussed, drawing on previous discussion in the literature. We arrive at the following definition: an antiferroelectric is like a ferroelectric in that its structure is obtained through distortion of a nonpolar high-symme...
متن کاملRecent Progress in First Principles Investigations of Magnetism of Surfaces and Thin Films
The present state of the art of theoretical studies of magnetism in artificial low dimensional transition metal materials, e.g., surfaces, overlayers and multilayers, is reviewed here by means of some illustrative examples. Strong magnetic moment enhancements are found for Fe, Co and Ni atoms at surfaces or interfaces contacting with inert substrates. By contrast, the spin polarization is stron...
متن کاملFirst-principles study of ferromagnetism in epitaxial Si-Mn thin films on Si(001).
Density-functional theory calculations are employed to investigate both the epitaxial growth and the magnetic properties of thin Mn and MnSi films on Si(001). For single Mn adatoms, we find a preference for the second-layer interstitial site. While a monolayer Mn film is energetically unfavorable, a capping-Si layer significantly enhances the thermodynamic stability and induces a change from an...
