摘要
Previous experimental indications of ferroelectricity with Curie temperature (T-C) of 747 K in BaTi2O5 are confirmed through assessment of its structural stability and estimation of its spontaneous polarization using first-principles density functional theory calculations. The present work establishes that the polarization is observed along b axis only and determines its structural origin with calculations of the Born effective charges. We find its piezoelectric response is comparable to that of PbTiO3, which with its high T-C and nonperovskite structure should open up possibilities for new lead-free ferroelectric materials.
