核心概念
本研究利用基於機器學習潛力的分子動力學模擬,定量評估了核量子效應對鈦酸鋇相變溫度和壓力的影響,發現核量子效應會降低相變溫度和壓力,且在低溫下更為顯著,即使在室溫下也不容忽視。
統計資料
菱方相到正交相的實驗相變溫度為 183 K。
在 150 K 時,16×16×16 和 20×20×20 超晶胞的 R-O、O-T 和 T-C 相變壓力分別為 4-5 GPa、8-9 GPa 和 10-11 GPa。
環境壓力下 BaTiO3 的實驗晶胞體積為 64.2-64.4 Å3。
引述
"The NQEs are more significant at lower temperatures but cannot be ignored even at room temperature."
"The phase diagram in the QTB-based MLPMD is in good agreement with those of the previous studies based on dielectric measurements and path-integral based simulations."
"This study clarified that the large cell size (a 16×16×16 or larger cell) and friction coefficient (≥ 15 THz) are required for accurately reproducing the phase transitions during the QTB-MD simulations."
