Theory of hypothetical ferroelectric superlattices incorporating head-to-head and tail-to-tail 180° domain walls
While electrical compatibility constraints normally prevent head-to-head HH and tail-to-tail TT domain walls from forming in ferroelectric materials, we propose that such domain walls could be stabilized by intentional growth of atomic layers in which the cations are substituted from a neighboring column of the periodic table. In particular, we carry out predictive first-principles calculations...
متن کاملFirst-principles investigation of 180° domain walls in BaTiO3
We present a first-principles study of 180° ferroelectric domain walls in tetragonal barium titanate. The theory is based on an effective Hamiltonian that has previously been determined from first-principles ultrasoftpseudopotential calculations. Statistical properties are investigated using Monte Carlo simulations. We compute the domain-wall energy, free energy, and thickness, analyze the beha...

متن کاملThe ferroelastic phase transition and non-180° domain switching in La-modified lead zirconate titanate ferroelectric ceramics.
The ferroelastic phase transition and shape memory effect in La-modified lead zirconate titanate ferroelectric ceramics are demonstrated directly through the temperature-dependent macroscopic recoverable strain measured in a three-point bending configuration. X-ray diffraction measurements reveal that non- 180° domain switching occurs in the mechanically poled sample in two different ways at th...
متن کاملEnhanced electromechanical response of ferroelectrics due to charged domain walls
While commonly used piezoelectric materials contain lead, non-hazardous, high-performance piezoelectrics are yet to be discovered. Charged domain walls in ferroelectrics are considered inactive with regards to the piezoelectric response and, therefore, are largely ignored in this search. Here we demonstrate a mechanism that leads to a strong enhancement of the dielectric and piezoelectric prope...
