Abstract: | Tetragonal ferroelectric/ferroelectric BaTiO3/PbTiO3\hbox{BaTiO}_3/\hbox{PbTiO}_3 superlattice under uniaxial tensile stress along the c axis is investigated from first principles. We show that the calculated ideal tensile strength is 6.85 GPa and that the superlattice
under the loading of uniaxial tensile stress becomes soft along the nonpolar axes. We also find that the appropriately applied
uniaxial tensile stress can significantly enhance the piezoelectricity for the superlattice, with piezoelectric coefficient
d
33 increasing from the ground state value by a factor of about 8, reaching 678.42 pC/N. The underlying mechanism for the enhancement
of piezoelectricity is discussed. |
