First-principles theory of frozen-ion flexoelectricity
We demonstrate that the frozen-ion contribution to the flexoelectric coefficient is given solely in terms of the sum of third moments of the charge-density distortions induced by atomic displacements, even for ferroelectric or piezoelectric materials. We introduce several practical supercell-based methods for calculating these coefficients from first principles, and demonstrate them by computin...
متن کاملThe flexoelectricity of barium and strontium titanates from first principles.
We present ab initio calculations of the longitudinal flexoelectricity for BaTiO(3) and SrTiO(3) using a direct approach. The calculated value for SrTiO(3) agrees with recently reported measurements. For BaTiO(3), however, the theoretical values are smaller than the measured ones; possible reasons for the discrepancy are discussed.
متن کاملFirst-Principles Calculation of Transport Coefficients
We demonstrate the practical feasibility of calculating transport coefficients such as the viscosity of liquids completely from first principles using the Green-Kubo relations. Results presented for liquid aluminum are shown to have a statistical error of only ca. 5%. The importance of such calculations is illustrated by results for a liquid iron-sulfur alloy under Earth’s core conditions, whic...
متن کاملFirst-principles calculation of local atomic polarizabilities.
Common methods of determining atomic polarizabilities suffer from the inclusion of nonlocal effects such as charge polarization. A new method is described for determining fully ab initio atomic polarizabilities based on calculating the response of atomic multipoles to the local electrostatic potential. The localized atomic polarizabilities are then used to calculate induction energies that are ...
متن کاملFirst-Principles Calculation of Photoabsorption Spectra of Cadmium Selenide Clusters
Photoabsorption spectra of magic-number cluster, (CdSe)34, in a pearl-necklace geometry are calculated for the first time by a firstprinciples approach based on the density functional theory. Photoabsorption spectra for the (CdSe)34 isolated-cage geometry is also calculated. We confirmed the size dependence by comparing them with our former result of smaller magic-number cluster, (CdSe)13. Thre...
