摘要: We use a first-principles based approach to theoretically investigate the room-temperature phase diagram of (BiFeO3)x(BaTiO3)1−x solid solutions. Using modified effective Hamiltonian approach, we show that random fields originating from off-valent substitutions decrease ferroelectric transition temperature leading paraelectric ground-state in intermediate range concentrations x. Predicted critical at which lattice distortions inherited phases parent compounds vanish, fall within experimental values. Furthermore, obtained results give necessary microscopical insight into mechanism driving pseudocubic formation.
