摘要
We propose a general model, based on Anderson superexchange and the pseudo Jahn-Teller effect, to explain why ferroelectric and octahedral tilting distortions are favored by ferromagnetic ordering when compared to antiferromagnetic tilting distortions in ABX(3) (A = alkali, alkaline-earth ion, f-filling rare earth; B = magnetic transition-metal ion; X = O2-, F-) perovskite crystals. Ab initio calculations are used to check the model under a wide range of pressures for oxides and fluorides, with the latter displaying an enhancement of the ferroelectric distortion when pressure is increased.
