摘要
Using first-principles calculations, we have studied the electronic structures, the relaxation energy and the bonding mechanism of SrBi2B2O9 (B = Ta, Nb). Unlike the case of prototype perovskites, the covalent bonding between cations and oxygen of SrBi2B2O9 (B = Ta, Nb) does not directly stabilize their ferroelectric phase through reducing their total energy. Whereas, the ferroelectric stability of SBN and SBT is determined by a large relaxation energy derived from a larger distortion along with their phase transition. The origin of the spontaneous polarization of the materials is also briefly discussed in our present work. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
