Determination of Ferroelectric Compositional Phase Transition Using a Novel Virtual Crystal Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
We employ a new method for studying compositionally disordered ferroelectric oxides. This method is based on the virtual crystal approximation (VGA), in which two or more component potentials are averaged into a composite atornic potential. In our method, we construct a virtual atom with the correctly averaged atomic size and atomic eigenvalues. We have used our new method to study the composition dependent phase transition in Pb(Zri^.xTix)O^ lying between x = 0.5 and x = 0.4. We correctly predict the experimentally determined phase transition from the tetragonal phase to a low-temperature rhombohedral phase between these two compositions.

An efficient solid-state approach was established to synthesize (K0.5Na0.5) NbO3 ceramics using calcination kinetics and microwave assisted sintering. Milling of carbonate and oxide raw materials were carried out for 15h to obtain homogeneous nano particles. The crystallite size of 5.30 nm was obtained for the KNN system after calcination through optimized parameters and observed to be stoichio...

Electronic properties of CaTiO3 crystal in paraelectric and ferroelectric phases have been studied by first principles, using Hohenberg-Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT). In paraelectric phase the results show an indirect band gap of about 2eV at -R direction in the Brilluoin zone and a strong hybridization between Ti-3d an O-2P orbital. In ferroelectric phase a direct band gap of abo...

The electrochemical cell: Se|TGSesingle crystal|Se, with tri-glycine selenide as solid electrolyte was employed to observe the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition. The charge, which normally occurs on the surface of the ferroelectric crystal in the polar phase, is thus incorporated in the electrical double layer of the cell and can be precisely monitored. The pyroelectric currents can a...
