摘要
A first principles study of an Mn impurity in PbTiO3 and PbZrO3 has been carried out to determine its favorable location and its electronic and magnetic properties. We find that it is energetically favorable for the Mn atom to substitute for Ti/Zr (as opposed to substituting for Pb and O or to residing in an interstitial position) under all equilibrium crystal growth conditions. The Mn defect mainly occurs as neutral-charge Mn substitute Ti/Zr, which has a total electron spin of 3/2. When no other impurities are present, a small concentration of charged Mn impurities that also form tends to make the sample slightly p type (n type) in oxygen-rich (poor) equilibrium growth conditions.
