Abstract:
... Sr₀.₇Bi₀.₂TiO₃ (SBT) is a promising pulse energy storage material due to minor hysteresis, but its low maximum polarization (Pₘₐₓ) is bad for energy storage. K⁺–Bi³⁺ defect pairs were introduced into the A-site of SBT to obtain Sr₀.₃₅Bi₀.₃₅K₀.₂₅TiO₃ (SBKT) with larger Pₘₐₓ. Through first-principles calculations, we determined that the introduction of defect pairs destroys the paraelectric order ph ...
