Ferroelectric, quantum paraelectric, or paraelectric? Calculating the evolution from BaTiO_{3} to SrTiO_{3} to KTaO_{3} using a single-particle quantum mechanical description of the ions
We present an inexpensive first-principles approach for describing quantum paraelectricity that combines density functional theory (DFT) treatment of the electronic subsystem with quantum mechanical treatment of the ions through solution of the single-particle Schrödinger equation with the DFT-calcu...
