Many-body and Covalence Effects in the Polarization of Ferroelectric Perovskites
نویسنده
چکیده
The ferroelectric polarization of perovskite oxides is much larger than implied by displacement of static ionic charges. We use an explicitly correlated scheme to investigate the phenomenon; charge transport is evaluated as a geometric quantum phase. Both covalence and electron-electron interaction enhance polarization in the weakly correlated regime. At higher values of the electron-electron interaction, the system undergoes a transition from a band insulator to a Mott insulator: the static ionic charge is continuous across the transition, whereas the polarization is discontinuous. Above the transition, oxygen transports a positive charge. SISSA Preprint # 174/94/CM/MB Typeset using REVTEX

Ferroelectric solar cells based on inorganic–organic hybrid perovskites
Ferroelectric solar cells based on ferroelectric oxides have attracted significant attention owing to many unique advantages, such as the switchable photocurrent and photovoltage, and the above bandgap open circuit voltages. However, the small photocurrent densities of the typical ferroelectric solar cells greatly limit their photovoltaic performance. In this report, we experimentally revealed ...
متن کاملTunable Schottky Barrier in Photovoltaic BiFeO3 Based Ferroelectric Composite Thin Films
We examine the photo-assisted polarization loop in a BiFeO3 thin film under UV light illumination. BiFeO3 thin film prepared by pulsed laser deposition method onto the BaTiO3 thin film and the polarization behavior has been measured under poling voltage. Our results show the engineered polarization due to controllable schottky barrier under inverse poling voltage. This control on schottky barri...
متن کاملThe Nature of Domain Stabilization in Ferroelectric Perovskites
Ferroelectric perovskites, such as Pb(Ti,Zr)O, and BaTiO,, are subject to ageing effects, caused by a gradual stabilization of the ferroelectric domain structure. We studied the development of this stabilization in Mn-doped BaTiO, monocrystals having a special kind of domain structure. We concluded from measurements of the growth of the internal bias field E, and the change of the sideways 180”...
متن کاملHigh-temperature multiferroicity and strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy in 3d-5d double perovskites
Using density functional calculations we explore the properties of as-yet-unsynthesized 3d-5d ordered double perovskites (A2BB ′O6) with highly polarizable Bi3+ ions on the A site. We find that the Bi2NiReO6 and Bi2MnReO6 compounds are insulating and exhibit a robust net magnetization that persists above room temperature. When the in-plane lattice vectors of the pseudocubic unit cell are constr...
متن کاملQuantifying Thermal Disorder in Metal–Organic Frameworks: Lattice Dynamics and Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Hybrid Formate Perovskites
Hybrid organic-inorganic materials are mechanically soft, leading to large thermoelastic effects which can affect properties such as electronic structure and ferroelectric ordering. Here we use a combination of ab initio lattice dynamics and molecular dynamics to study the finite temperature behavior of the hydrazinium and guanidinium formate perovskites, [NH2NH3][Zn(CHO2)3] and [C(NH2)3][Zn(CH...
