First Principles Approach to BaTiO_3

Authors: MUSTAFA ULUDOĞAN, TAHİR ÇAĞIN

Abstract: We present state of art first-principles study on the static and dynamic properties of BaTiO_3, a typical ferroelectric material. Here, structure, equation of state, phase stability, and phase transformations of BaTiO_3 studied in Generalized Gradient Approximation. Furthermore, properties such as, Born effective charges, optical dielectric constant and phonon spectra are calculated from Density Functional Perturbation Theory.
