Unusual behavior of the ferroelectric polarization in PbTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices.
Artificial PbTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices were constructed using off-axis rf magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction and piezoelectric atomic force microscopy were used to study the evolution of the ferroelectric polarization as the ratio of PbTiO3 to SrTiO3 was changed. For PbTiO3 layer thicknesses larger than the 3-unit cell SrTiO3 thickness used in the structure, the polarization is found to be...
متن کاملShort-circuit boundary conditions in ferroelectric PbTiO3 thin films
We examine the application of short-circuit electrical boundary conditions in density-functional theory calculations of ferroelectric thin films. Modeling PbTiO3 films with metallic electrodes, we demonstrate that under periodic boundary conditions of supercells, short-circuit conditions for the electrodes are equivalently satisfied in two repeated slab geometries: a PbTiO3/metal superlattice g...

متن کاملWeak d 0 ferromagnetism: Zn vacancy condensation in ZnS nanocrystals.
We provide the explanation of the large discrepancy of three orders of magnitude between the experimentally measured and theoretically calculated magnetic moments in ZnS nanocrystals. We assume that the condensation of Zn vacancies into a single droplet takes place. The energy calculations reveal that the droplet phase is more favorable than the uniformly distributed vacancy configuration. The ...
