Alkaline-Earth and Rare-Earth Elements and Oxygen Vacancy in BaTiO3: Analyses by First-Principles Calculations and EXAFS
Abstract:
We performed first-principles calculations to examine the interaction among rare-earth (RE), alkaline-earth (AE) elements and oxygen vacancy (VO) in BaTiO3, in order to clarify the combined effects of VO trapping by two different elements. It was found that there is a synergistic effect of VO trapping by RE at Ba site and AE at Ti site, so that the co-doping is effective to improve insulating reliability of BaTiO3. We also verified that the local atomic structures around dopants obtained by calculations well agree with that obtained experimentally by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analyses. The present work is the first one to clarify the structural environment around dopants including VO by both theoretical and experimental approaches.
