研究目的
Investigating the design strategy for ferroelectric-based polar metals with dimensionality-tunable electronic states.
研究成果
The study presents a multilayer design strategy for obtaining ferroelectric-based polar metals with dimensionality-tunable electronic states. The strategy effectively achieves polar metallicity and highly anisotropic properties, which may be beneficial for designing ultra-thin, ultrafast, and low-power switch devices. The coexistence of polar distortion and metallicity in the proposed structure is confirmed, extending the applicability of polar metals in ultra-thin devices.
研究不足
The study is limited by the computational methods and assumptions used in the DFT calculations, such as the neglect of tilt and rotation of oxygen octahedron in BSNO. The experimental realization of the proposed multilayer structure and its practical applications in devices remain to be explored.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a multilayer design strategy configured as ferroelectric layer/carrier reservoir layer/isolation layer/substrate for obtaining polar metals by electrostatically doping a strained ferroelectric material. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) with the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof revised for solids (PBEsol) exchange and correlation functional.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study uses BaTiO3 (BTO) and PbTiO3 (PTO) as ferroelectric materials, with SrTiO3 (STO) as the substrate, SrO as the isolation layer, and Ba
3：5Sr5NbO3 (BSNO) as the carrier reservoir layer. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The Vienna ab initio simulation package (VASP) was used for DFT calculations, with the projector augmented wave method (PAW) for electronic configurations.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The study involves structure optimizations with atomic positions relaxed for energy differences up to 1×10?6 eV and all forces smaller than 1 meV ??
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The Fermi surface was calculated using the Wannier90 code, and transport properties were calculated using the Boltzmann transport theory within the constant scattering time (τ) approximation as implemented in the BoltzWann module of the Wannier90 code.
