摘要

AgNbO_3 exhibits an antiferroelectric phase transition to the orthorhombic Pbcm phase at ~626 K. At room temperature it exhibits ferroelectric behavior with a large spontaneous polarization. However, the ferroelectric structure is still not well understood, with different groups reporting it to have Pbcm symmetry, with its ferroelectricity attributed to local symmetry breaking and/or a defective structure, while others propose space group Pmc2_1 on the basis of converged beam electron diffraction and neutron and X-ray diffraction results. Here, we report first-principles calculations of point defect formation in AgNbC>3 using the projector augmented wave method within the density functional theory. Our calculations reveal that the material should contain abundant [2V_(Ag)' + Vo~(**)]~x complexes (i.e., two Ag vacancies charge compensated by formation of an O vacancy) in AgNbO_3 crystals. We show that the presence of this defect complex in an antiferroelectric Pbcm matrix could act as the origin of the weak ferroelectricity in AgNbO_3.
