Metallic ferroelectricity induced by anisotropic unscreened coulomb interaction in LiOsO3

Abstract

As the first well-documented example of the ferroelectric metal, LiOsO3 has received extensive research attention recently. Using density-functional calculations, we perform a systematic study for LiOsO3. We address the controversy about the depth of the double well in the potential surface, and propose that the ferroelectric transition is order-disorder like. Moreover, we unambiguously demonstrate that the electric screening in this compound is highly anisotropic, and there is still unscreened dipole-dipole interaction in one special direction which results in the long range ferroelectric order despite the metallic nature of LiOsO3.
