In the context of the search for environment-respectful, lead- and bismuth- free chemical compounds for devices such as actuators, SnTiO3 (ST) is investigated from first principles within DFT. Full geometry optimization provides a stable tetragonal structure relative to cubic one. From the equation of state the equilibrium volume of SnTiO3 is found smaller than ferroelectric PbTiO3 (PT) in agreement with a smaller Sn2+ radius. While ionic displacements exhibit similar trends between ST and PT a larger tetragonality (c/a ratio) for ST results in a larger polarization, PST = 1.1 C.m2. The analysis of the electronic band structure detailing the Sn-O and Ti-O interactions points to a differentiated chemical bonding and a reinforcement of the covalent bonding with respect to Pb homologue.
The structural, elastic and electronic properties of ReN are investigated by first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. Two competing structures, i.e., CsCl-like and NiAs-like structures, are found and the most stable structure
The band structure, optical and defects properties of Ba_{2}TeO are systematically investigated using density functional theory with a view to understanding its potential as an optoelectronic or trans- parent conducting material. Ba_{2}TeO crystalliz
Radiative cooling has recently revived due to its significant potential as an environmentally friendly cooling technology. However, the design of particle-matrix cooling nanocomposites was generally carried out via tedious trial-and-error approaches,
A novel stable crystallographic structure is discovered in a variety of ABO3, ABF3 and A2O3 compounds (including materials of geological relevance, prototypes of multiferroics, exhibiting strong spin-orbit effects, etc...), via the use of first princ
Following our ab initio nonlinear optical (NLO) materials design guidelines, in this Letter, we discovered a novel type of structure to realize potential deep-ultraviolet (DUV) NLO performance in the classical beryllium borate system. By densely stac
