چکیده
Theoretical ab initio and experimental methods are used to investigate the [Bi(Zn1/2Ti1/2)O3]x[PbTiO3]1-x solid solution. We find that hybridization between Zn 4s and 4p and O 2p orbitals allows the formation of short, covalent Zn-O bonds, enabling favorable coupling between A-site and B-site displacements. This leads to unusually large polarization, strong tetragonality, and an elevated ferroelectric to paraelectric phase transition temperature.

Correlations between tetragonality, polarization, and ionic displacement in PbTiO3-derived ferroelectric perovskite solid solutions
We use first-principles density-functional theory calculations to investigate the dependence of tetragonality on local structure in a variety of ferroelectric solid solutions. We demonstrate that tetragonality is strongly coupled to the B-cation displacement and weakly coupled to the A-cation displacement. Examination of various BiMO3 additives to PbTiO3 for different M 3+ ionic sizes reveals t...
متن کاملFirst-principles investigation of the highly tetragonal ferroelectric material Bi(Zn1Õ2Ti1Õ2)O3
First-principles calculations were performed to study the extremely tetragonal ferroelectric material Bi Zn1/2Ti1/2 O3 BZT . In agreement with experiment, we find that BZT displays extremely large cation displacements and tetragonality. Despite its high tetragonality and polarization, the local structure of the material exhibits a high degree of local disorder which is more typical of the solid...
متن کاملFerroelectric and magnetic properties of Pb(Fe2/3W1/3)O3-based multiferroic compounds with cation order
BiFeO3 and PbTiO3 were introduced to a Sc-modified Pb(Fe2/3W1/3)O3 compound with strong cation order to improve the multiferroic properties. It is found that the degree of cation order decreases as the amount of BiFeO3 or PbTiO3 increases. As a result, the saturation magnetization deteriorates. Solid solutions with BiFeO3 show an increase in both ferroelectric and magnetic transition temperatur...
متن کاملNonmonotonic TC trends in bi-based ferroelectric perovskite solid solutions.
We use first-principles density functional theory calculations to investigate the strongly nonlinear compositional trends in ferroelectric BiBO3-PbTiO3 solid solutions for a variety of cations on the perovskite B site. We demonstrate that previously tabulated crystal chemical parameters (extracted from other Pb-based perovskite alloys [Grinberg et al., J. Appl. Phys. 98, 094111 (2005)]) permit ...
متن کاملPredicting morphotropic phase boundary locations and transition temperatures in Pb- and Bi-based perovskite solid solutions from crystal chemical data and first-principles calculations
Using data obtained from first-principles calculations, we show that the position of the morphotropic phase boundary MPB and transition temperature at MPB in ferroelectric perovskite solutions can be predicted with quantitative accuracy from the properties of the constituent cations. We find that the mole fraction of PbTiO3 at MPB in Pb B B O3–PbTiO3, BiBO3–PbTiO3, and Bi B B O3–PbTiO3 exhibits...
