Predicting phase transitions in PbTiO using zentropy through quasiharmonic phonon calculations

Nigel Lee En Hew, Shun-Li Shang, Zi-Kui Liu

According to x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, PbTiO undergoes a phase transition from a tetragonal ferroelectric (FE) phase to a cubic paraelectric phase at 763 K. However…
