摘要: Group theoretical methods are applied to a ferroelectric phase transition in barium aluminate (BaAl 2 O 4 ). The atomic displacements from x-ray-diffraction data decomposed into four modes: primary order parameter andthree secondary parameters. spontaneous polarization P s is shown arise parameter, resulting very small value of , as typical other improper ferroelectrics. Using first-principles computational method, we show that the becomes unstable. and driven? at transition. Through coupling, nonzero then drives parameters values well.
