Abstract:
Using the firstprinciples calculation, we studied the 180° domain in the ferroelectric material of KNbO3 and calculated the thickness, energy and barrier height for the coherent motion of the domain wall of both K centered and Nb centered domain walls. Our calculation reveals that the thickness of 180° domain wall is only one to two lattice constants. The K centered domain wall is preferred because its formation energy (7.58 mJ/m2) is half of t hat of the Nb centered domain wall (15.16 mJ/m2). The Nb centered domain wall is unstable and will gradually change to the K centered domain wall. The arrier height for the coherent motion of the domain wall to its neighboring lattice position is 7.58 mJ/m2.
Key words: KNbO3, ferroelectric, domain wall
