Using the strain-dependent effective Hamiltonian and the geometric phase, Droth et al. [Phys. Rev. B 94, 075404 (2016)] obtain an analytical expression for the electronic contribution to the piezoelectricity of planar hexagonal boron…
Due to their low surface mass density, two-dimensional materials with a strong piezoelectric response are interesting for nanoelectromechanical systems with high force sensitivity. Unlike graphene, the two sublattices in a monolayer of…
Recent theoretical advances have established that the electric polarization in an insulating crystal can be viewed as a multivalued quantity that is determined by certain Berry phases associated with the occupied Bloch bands. The…
Li et al. (Science Advances, 29 January, p. eabe3068) claim the discovery of two improper ferroelectrics, dabcoHClO4 and dabcoHBF4 (dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane), and that these materials exhibit superior pyroelectric figures of…
We study from first-principles calculations the ferroelectric structural phase transition of Pb$_5$Ge$_3$O$_{11}$ crystal. The calculations of phonons and Born effective charges of the paraelectric phase allow us to identify a polar…
In this comment, we show a dimensional inconsistency that plagues one of the main founding equations, Eq. (5), of the manuscript, [Fouda et al., AEU-Int. J. Electron. Commun. 117, 153104 (2020)]. Also, a resolution of the inconsistency as…
We compare results of the recent experiment by Herath et al [T. Herath, L. Yan, S. K. Lee, and W. Li, Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 043004 (2012)] on strong-field nonadiabatic tunneling in circularly polarized laser fields with the original…
This Comment points out a number of errors in the recent paper by Zarechnaya, Dubrovinskaia, Dubrovinsky, et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 185501 (2009)). Results and conclusions presented by Zarechnaya et al. (2009) are either incorrect or…
The rotational instability of the electric polarization P during phase transformations between ferroelectric phases is of great practical interest, since it may be accompanied by extremely large values of the piezoelectric coefficient, and…
Much long before the appearing time of the Comment by Cen, Li, and Yan,, the main issue addresed there by Cen et al had been resolved already. The information offered by the Comment is selective and misleading.
In this paper, a consistent theory is developed for size-dependent piezoelectricity in dielectric solids. This theory shows that electric polarization can be generated as the result of coupling to the mean curvature tensor, unlike previous…
A novel treatment of non-adiabatic couplings is proposed. The derivation starts from the long-known, but not well-known, fact that the wave function of the complete system of elctrons and nuclei can be written, without approximation, as a…
We demonstrate that polarization-related quantities in semiconductors can be predicted accurately from first-principles calculations using the appropriate approach to the problem, the Berry-phase polarization theory. For III-V nitrides, our…
Temperature dependent structural changes in a nearly pure monoclinic phase composition (x=0.525) of Pb(Zr_xTi_1-x)O_3 (PZT) have been investigated using Rietveld analysis of high-resolution synchrotron powder x-ray diffraction data and…
In the last ten years significant advances have been made in our understanding and ability to compute and predict properties of ferroelectrics and piezoelectrics using fundamental physics. Phase diagrams, electromechanical and elastic…
The issues raised in the preceding comment of Bourges et al. [arXiv:1710.08173, Phys. Rev. B 98, 016501 (2018)] are shown to be unfounded. We highlight the complications caused by inhomogeneous beam polarization that can occur when using…
The origin of the very large piezoelectric response observed in the vicinity of the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) in perovskite lead zirconate titanate and related systems has been under intensive studies. Polarization rotation ideas…
The proton ordering model for the KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$ type ferroelectrics is modified by taking into account non-linear effects, namely, the dependence of the effective dipole moments on the proton ordering parameter. Within the four-particle…
This comment has been withdrawn by the authors due to crucial error.
The Comment by Duval et al. [PRL 96, 099701 (2006)] addresses an important, but not the main, result of our Letter [PRL 95, 137204 (2005)]. It does not contradict our results in substance, and the only objection is really on the style of…
