First Principles explanation of the positive Seebeck coefficient of lithium

Bin Xu, Matthieu J. Verstraete

Lithium is one of the simplest metals, with negative charge carriers and a close reproduction of free electron dispersion. Experimentally, however, Li is one of a handful of elemen…

Geometric Ferroelectricity in Fluoro-Perovskites

A. C. Garcia-Castro, N. A. Spaldin, A. H. Romero +1

We used first-principles calculations to investigate the existence and origin of the ferroelectric in- stability in the ABF3 fluoro-perovskites. We find that many fluoro-perovskite…

First-principles study of the lattice dynamical properties of strontium ruthenate

Naihua Miao, Nicholas C Bristowe, Bin Xu +2

By means of first-principles calculations, various properties of SrRuO3 are investigated, focusing on its lattice dynamical properties. Despite having a Goldschmidt tolerance facto…

AC vs. DC Electrophoretic Deposition of Hydroxyapatite on Titanium

V. Ozhukil Kollatha, Q. Chen, R. Closset +5

The bio-inertness of titanium and its alloys attracts their use as bone implants. However a bioactive coating is usually necessary for improving the bone bonding of such implants.…

Electric control of the magnetization in BiFeO/LaFeO superlattices

Zeila Zanolli, Jacek C. Wojdel, Jorge Iniguez +1

First-principles techniques are used to investigate the behavior of BiFeO/LaFeO perovskite oxide superlattices epitaxially grown on a (001)-SrTiO substrate. The cal…

Improper ferroelectricity and multiferroism in 2HBaMnO

Julien Varignon, Philippe Ghosez

Using first-principles calculations, we study theoretically the stable 2H hexagonal structure of BaMnO3. We show that from the stable high temperature P63/mmc structure, the compou…
