摘要
The Born effective charge tensors of barium titanate have been calculated for each of its four phases. Large effective charges of Ti and O, also predicted by shell-model calculations and made plausible by a simplified model, reflect the partly covalent character of the chemical bond. A band-by-band decomposition confirms that orbital hybridization is not restricted to Ti and O atoms but also involves Ba, which appears more covalent than generally assumed. Our calculations reveal a strong dependence of the effective charges on the atomic positions contrasting with a relative insensitivity on isotropic volume changes. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
