The first-principles study of ferroelectric behaviours of PbTiO3/SrTiO3 and BaTiOn/SrTiO3 superlattices

We have performed the first-principles calculation to investigate the origins of ferroelectricities and different po- larization behaviours of superlattices BaTiO3/SrTiO3 and PbTiO3/SrTiO3. The density of state （DOS） and electronic charge profiles show that there are strong hybridizations between atoms Ti and O and between atoms Pb and O which play very important roles in producing the ferroelectricities of superlattices BaTiO3/SrTiO3 and PbTiO3/SrTiO3. Ow- ing to the decline of internal electric field in SrTiO3 （ST） layer, the tetragonality and polarizations of superlattices decrease with increasing the fraction of SrTiO3 in the superlattices. We find that the polarization of PbTiO3/SrTiO3 is largerthan that of BaTiO3/SrTiO3 at the same ratio of components, because the polarization mismatch between PbTiO3 and SrTiO3 is larger than that between BaTiO3 and SrTiO3. The polarization and tetragonality are en- hanced with respect to those of bulk tetragonal BaTiO3 in the superlattices BaTiO3/SrTiO3, while the polarization and tetragonality are reduced with respect to those of bulk tetragonal PbTiO3 in superlattices PbTiO3/SrTiO3.     

无铅四方相钙钛矿短周期超晶格压电效应机理研究

超晶格压电行为与内部正离子之间的内在联系尚缺乏相关的研究.本文基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法,研究了三种无铅四方相钙钛矿铁电超晶格(BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3,KNbO_3/KTaO_3和BaTiO_3/KNbO_3)中A,B位正离子对整体的极化和压电贡献.通过计算超晶格不同轴向应变条件下原子结构和Born有效电荷,获得了超晶格和各个正离子的极化值和压电系数.结果表明,在轴向压缩应变条件下(-0.15—0 A),无铅超晶格中的正离子位移D(A)和D(B)受到抑制,在拉应变时位移才显著增大,因此极化和压电行为不明显.在轴向拉伸应变作用下(0—0.15 A),无铅超晶格中各原子的极化贡献显著增大,特别是B位原子Ti,Nb和Ta的极化贡献使得总的极化强度也显著提高,并当拉应变达到一定值,超晶格才会出现明显的压电行为.无铅超晶格的极化和压电行为主要由B位正离子贡献.     

应力作用下铁电超晶格BaTiO3/SrTiO3的结构和极化的第一性原理研究

通过第一性原理计算，研究了在不同应力作用下铁电超晶格BaTiO₃/SrTiO₃的结构以及自发极化的变化.结果显示，在应力作用下，晶格发生变形，并且沿着c轴在Ti原子和O原子之间电荷发生传输.随着应力的增加，超晶格中各类原子沿着c轴的位移都会有不同程度上的增加，造成了铁电超晶格的自发极化不断提高.此外，在该模型中，通过变化所施加的应力，可以控制超晶格的极化性质.

First-principles study of polarization and piezoelectricity behavior in tetragonal PbTiO_3-based superlattices

Using first-principles calculation, the contribution of A-site and B-site atoms to polarization and piezoelectricity d33 in the tetragonal Pb TiO_3/KNbO_3 and PbTiO_3/LaAlO_3 superlattices is investigated in this paper. It is shown that PbTiO_3/KNbO_3 superlattice has larger polarization and d33 than PbTiO_3/LaAlO_3 superlattice, because there is stronger charge transfer between A(B)-site atoms and oxygen atom in PbTiO_3/KNbO_3 superlattice. InPbTiO_3/KNbO_3 superlattice,B-site atoms(Ti, Nb) make larger contribution to the total polarization and d33 than the A-site atoms(Pb, K) because of the strong covalent interactions between the transition metal(Ti, Nb) and the oxygen atoms, while piezoelectricity in PbTiO_3/LaAlO_3 superlattice mainly ascribes to piezoelectric contribution of Pb atom and Ti atom in PbTiO_3 component.Furthermore, by calculating the proportion of the piezoelectric contribution from Pb TiO_3 component in superlattices, we find there is different response of strain to piezoelectric contribution from Pb TiO_3 component in two superlattices but still with a value larger than 50%. InPbTiO_3/KNbO_3 superlattice, the c-axis strain reduces the proportion, especially under tensile condition. Meanwhile in PbTiO_3/LaAlO_3 superlattice, Pb TiO_3 plays a leading role to the total d33, especially under compressive condition, and the proportion decreases as the tensile strain increases.
