Systematic <i>ab initio</i> study of the phase diagram of epitaxially strained SrTiO3

Systematic <i>ab initio</i> study of the phase diagram of epitaxially strained SrTiO3

We use density-functional theory with the local-density approximation to study the structural and ferroelectric properties of SrTiO$_3$ under misfit strains. Both the antiferrodistortive (AFD) and ferroelectric (FE) instabilities are considered. The rotation of the oxygen octahedra and the movement of the atoms are fully relaxed within the constraint of a …
