1206.4732 (Joseph W. Bennett et al.)

Hexagonal $ABC$ as semiconducting ferroelectrics    [PDF]

Joseph W. Bennett, Kevin F. Garrity, Karin M. Rabe, David Vanderbilt
We use a first-principles rational-design approach to identify a previously-unrecognized class of ferroelectric materials in the $P63mc$ LiGaGe structure type. We calculate structural parameters, polarization and ferroelectric well depths both for reported and as-yet hypothetical representatives of this class. Our results provide guidance for the experimental realization and further investigation of high-performance materials suitable for practical applications.
