Order–disorder character of PbTiO3
We report the displacive and order–disorder characters of PbTiO3 analyzed using a classical atomic model which was developed under the inverse relation between the bond length and the bond valence. The ferroelectric phase changes to the paraelectric phase around 700 K, and the histograms of Ti–O and Pb–O bond lengths have three peaks which become a single peak above the phase transition tempera...

متن کاملDomain formation and dielectric response in PbTiO3: A first-principles free-energy landscape analysis
We determine the relative thermodynamic stability of competing homogeneously and inhomogeneously ordered ferroelectric phases of PbTiO3 using its free-energy landscape, obtained from constrained-polarization moleculardynamics simulations with a first-principles effective Hamiltonian and thermodynamic integration. While we find that the tetragonal structure is thermodynamically most stable at te...
متن کاملFirst-principles theory of frozen-ion flexoelectricity
We demonstrate that the frozen-ion contribution to the flexoelectric coefficient is given solely in terms of the sum of third moments of the charge-density distortions induced by atomic displacements, even for ferroelectric or piezoelectric materials. We introduce several practical supercell-based methods for calculating these coefficients from first principles, and demonstrate them by computin...
متن کاملFirst-principles study of high-field piezoelectricity in tetragonal PbTiO3
We calculate from first principles the nonlinear piezoelectric response of ferroelectric PbTiO3 for the case of a polarization-enhancing electric field applied along the tetragonal axis. We focus mainly on the case of fixed in-plane lattice constants, corresponding to epitaxially constrained thin films. We find that the dependence of the c /a ratio on electric field is almost linear in the rang...
