چکیده
We show with first-principles molecular dynamics the persistence of intrinsic $\langle111\rangle$ Ti off-centerings for BaTiO$_3$ in its cubic paraelectric phase. Intriguingly, these are inconsistent Pm$\bar 3$m space group often used to atomistically model this phase using density functional theory or similar methods. Therefore we deploy a systematic symmetry analysis construct representative structural models form supercells that satisfy desired point but built from combination lower-symmetry primitive cells. define as prototypes smallest both energetically and dynamically stable. Remarkably, two 40-atom can be identified BaTiO$_3$; also common many other $AB$O$_3$ perovskites. These offer phases computational engineering materials. Last, emergence B-cation primitive-cell phonon instabilities controlled by equilibrium volume, turn dictated filler A cation.

Incident Mining Using Structural Prototypes
Software and other technical products offered to a mass market have a high demand on support and help desks. A tool for automated classification of incident reports, errors and other customer requests which offers previous (successful) hints or solution procedures could efficiently decrease support costs. We propose an approach to mining incidents and other customer requests for support based o...
متن کاملMicroscopic picture of aging in SiO2.
We investigate the aging dynamics of amorphous SiO(2) via molecular dynamics simulations of a quench from a high temperature T(i) to a lower temperature T(f). We obtain a microscopic picture of aging dynamics by analyzing single particle trajectories, identifying jump events when a particle escapes the cage formed by its neighbors, and determining how these jumps depend on the waiting time t(w)...

متن کاملCompeting structural instabilities in cubic perovskites.
We study the antiferrodistortive instability and its interaction with ferroelectricity in cubic perovskite compounds. Our first-principles calculations show that coexistence of both instabilities is very common. We develop a firstprinciples scheme to study the thermodynamics of these compounds when both instabilities are present, and apply it to SrTiO3. We find that increased pressure enhances ...
