Electronic States of Perovskite-Type Oxides and Ferroelectricity
View through CrossRef
A relation between B-site transition metal and ferroelectricity is investigated in A
BO3 perovskite-type oxides. We focus on intensity of the covalent bonds between the B-site atom and the oxygen octahedron and evaluate Harrison's covalency parameter α. The density functional theory within the local density approximation is adopted to obtain the valence electron energy levels of free atoms from which the covalency α is calculated. Strong correlation between the covalency α and the Curie temperature (T
C) is found. As the covalency α increases, T
C of ferroelectricity arises. It is also noted that the hybridization between Pb 6p and O 2p is crucial for the high ferroelectricity of PbTiO3.
