摘要
First-principles calculations are conducted on two magnetic brownmillerites, namely, Ca2Co2O5 and Sr2Co2O5. Both systems possess a previously overlooked polar Pmc2(1) phase that is low in energy. This ferroelectric state is even predicted to be the ground state of Sr2Co2O5, which therefore renders such material multiferroic. Strikingly, the ferroelectricity associated with this Pmc2(1) phase involves an original energetic coupling that is linear in the polar mode, quadratic in another distortion, and linear in a third mode. Such ferroelectricity is therefore of a novel type, since it differs from previously reported proper, improper, hybrid improper, and triggered kinds of ferroelectricity.
