Journal ArticleDOI
First-principles calculations of the energetics of stoichiometric TiO2 surfaces.
TL;DR: Self-consistent ab initio total-energy calculations of the equilibrium relaxed structures and surface energies of the stoichiometric surfaces of ${\mathrm{TiO}}_{2}$.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virtual crystal approximation revisited: Application to dielectric and piezoelectric properties of perovskites
TL;DR: In this article, the virtual crystal approximation (VCA) was used to predict dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the perovskite solid solution in its paraelectric or ferroelectric phases.
Journal ArticleDOI
First-principles theory of ferroelectric phase transitions for perovskites: The case of BaTiO3
TL;DR: This work makes systematically improvable approximations which enable the parametrization of the complicated energy surface of ferroelectric phase transitions in BaTiO and finds all three phase transitions to be of first order.
Journal ArticleDOI
First-principles investigation of ferroelectricity in perovskite compounds
TL;DR: A first-principles ultra-soft-pseudopotential method in conjunction with an efficient preconditioned conjugate-gradient scheme is used to investigate the properties of a series of eight cubic perovskite compounds to predict the symmetry of the ground-state structures of all compounds whose observed low-temperature structure retains a primitive five-atom unit cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous formation of stress domains on crystal surfaces.
TL;DR: On suggere que les surfaces de cristaux, qui se reconstituent avec une symetrie orientationnelle brisee and qui mettent en evidence un tenseur de contrainte intrinseque anisotropique, sont instables a la formation of domaines de deformation elastique.
