Lead vanadate PbVO3 is a polar crystal with a P4mm space group at ambient conditions. It is isostructural with the model soft-mode driven ferroelectric PbTiO3, but differs from it by the so-called 'supertetragonal' elongation of its unit…
Dielectric tensor and lattice dynamics of alpha-PbO2-type TiO2 have been investigated using the density functional perturbation theory, with a focus on responses of the vibrational frequencies to pressure. The calculated Raman spectra under…
Layered hybrid perovskites have attracted much attention in recent years due to their emergent physical properties and exceptional functional performances, but the coexistence of lattice order and structural disorder severely hinders our…
We report the results of an inelastic X-ray scattering study of the lattice dynamics in the paraelectric phase of the antiferroelectric lead hafnate PbHfO$_3$. The study reveals an avoided crossing between the transverse acoustic and…
We have performed detailed first-principles calculations to determine the eigenvectors of the zone-center modes of hexagonal BaTiO3 and shown that the experimentally relevant low-energy modes (including the non-polar instability) can be…
We use our recently proposed microscopic modeling in the framework of linear response theory to investigate the complete phonon dispersion, the phonon density of states, certain phonon-induced electronic charge distributions and charge…
A comparative analysis of the structural phase transitions of EuTiO3 and SrTiO3 (at TS = 282 and 105 K, respectively) is made on the basis of phonon-dispersion and density functional calculations. The phase transition of EuTiO3 is predicted…
We propose to insert TiO layers to perovskite ATiO$_{3}$ to form a superlattice and use first-principles calculations to investigate its basic properties. Our computational analysis shows that the structure, which consists of repeated…
The structure of BaMg1/3Ta2/3O3 (BMT) has been studied using X-ray scattering. The phonons have been measured and the results are similar to those of other materials with the perovskite structure such as PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 (PMN). The acoustic…
The structure, magnetic properties, and lattice dynamics of ordered Fe-Pt alloys with three stoichiometric compositions, Fe$_3$Pt, FePt and FePt$_3$, have been investigated using the density functional theory. Additionally, the existing…
The discovery of lead free all-inorganic alloyed double perovskites have revolutionized photovoltaic research, showing promising light emitting efficiency and its tunability. However, detailed studies regarding optical, exciton, polaron and…
The high pressure lattice dynamics of rhombohedral antimony have been studied by a combination of diffuse scattering and inelastic x-ray scattering. The evolution of the phonon behavior as function of pressure was analyzed by means of two…
We investigate the impact of various levels of approximation in density functional theory calculations for the structural and binding properties of the prototypical halide perovskite MAPbI$_3$. Specifically, we test how the inclusion of…
It is well known that conventional harmonic lattice dynamics cannot be applied to energetically unstable crystals at 0 K, such as high temperature body centered cubic (BCC) phase of crystalline Zr. Predicting phonon spectra at finite…
We have used a shell model to study the phonon dynamics of multiferroic manganites RMnO3 (R= Tb, Dy, Ho). The calculated phonon dynamical properties, crystal structure, Raman frequencies and specific heat are found to be in good agreement…
Ferromagnetism and its evolution in the orthorhombic perovskite system Sr1-xCaxRuO3 have been widely believed to correlate with the structural distortion. The recent development of high-pressure synthesis of the Ba substituted Sr1-yBayRuO3…
An effective Hamiltonian for the ferroelectric transition in $PbTiO_3$ is constructed from first-principles density-functional-theory total-energy and linear-response calculations through the use of a localized, symmetrized basis set of…
The crystal structures and phonon spectra of orthorhombic cadmium titanate with the $Pbnm$ structure and of its two possible ferroelectrically distorted phases with $Pbn2_1$ and $Pb2_1m$ space groups were calculated from first principles…
Several puzzling aspects of interplay of the experimental lattice distortion and the the magnetic properties of four narrow $t_{2g}$-band perovskite oxides (YTiO$_3$, LaTiO$_3$, YVO$_3$, and LaVO$_3$) are clarified using results of…
By means of non-resonant Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations, we measure and assign the vibrational spectrum of two distinct two-dimensional lead-iodide perovskite derivatives. These two samples are selected in…
