摘要

The effect of a variety of intrinsic defects and defect clusters in bulk and thin films of SrTiO_3 on ferroelectric polarization and switching mechanisms is investigated by means of density-functional-theory based calculations and the Berry phase approach. Our results show that both the titanium Ti_(sr)~‥ and strontium Sr_(Ti)~" antisite defects induce ferroelectric polarization in SrTiO_3, with the Ti_(sr)~‥ defect causing a more pronounced spontaneous polarization and higher activation barriers of polarization reversal than Sr_(Ti)~". The presence of oxygen vacancies bound to the antisite defects can either enhance or diminish polarization depending on the configuration of the defect pair, but it always leads to larger activation barriers of polarization switching as compared to the antisite defects with no oxygen vacancies. We also show that the magnitude of spontaneous polarization in SrTiO3 can be tuned by controlling the degree of Sr/Ti nonstroichiometry. Other intrinsic point defects such as Frenkel defect pairs and electron small polarons also contribute to the emergence of ferroelectric polarization in SrTiO_3.
