ab initio Study of Strain-Induced Ferroelectricity in SrTiO3
Valley lines on total-energy surfaces for the zone-center distortions of freestanding and in-plane strained SrTiO3 are investigated with a newly developed first-principles structure optimization technique [Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 43 (2004), 6785]. The results of numerical calculations confirmed that the ferroelectricity is induced, and the Curie temperature is increased, by applying biaxial compres...
متن کاملStrain-induced ferroelectricity in simple rocksalt binary oxides.
Using first-principles density functional calculations, we show that ferroelectricity can be induced in simple alkaline-earth-metal binary oxides such as barium oxide (BaO) using appropriate epitaxial strains. Going beyond the fundamental discovery, we highlight that the functional properties (polarization, dielectric constant, and piezoelectric response) of such strained binary oxides are comp...
متن کاملFerroelectricity driven by the noncentrosymmetric magnetic ordering in multiferroic TbMn(2)O(5): a first-principles study.
The ground state structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of multiferroic TbMn(2)O(5) are investigated via first-principles calculations. We show that the ferroelectricity in TbMn(2)O(5) is driven by the noncentrosymmetric magnetic ordering, without invoking the spin-orbit coupling and noncollinear spins. The intrinsic electric polarization in this compound is calculated to be 1187 nC cm...
متن کاملThe nature of ferroelectricity under pressure
Advances in first-principles computational approaches have, over the past fifteen years, made possible the investigation of physical properties of ferroelectric systems. In particular, such approaches have led to a microscopic understanding of the occurrence of ferroelectricity in perovskite oxides at ambient pressure. In this paper, we report ab-initio studies on the effect of hydrostatic pres...
متن کاملOrigin of ferroelectricity in the multiferroic barium fluorides BaMF4: A first principles study
We present a first-principles study of the series of multiferroic barium fluorides with the composition BaMF4, where M is Mn, Fe, Co, or Ni. We discuss trends in the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties, and we show that the ferroelectricity in these systems results from the freezing in of a single unstable polar phonon mode. In contrast to the case of the standard perovskite ferroel...
