Resumo: |
In this work we present a theoretical and computational study of the mechanism of ferroelectricity in multiferroic hexagonal manganite LuMnO3. Some structural and electronic properties are described in both paraelectric (PE) and ferroelectric (FE) phases. As theoretical and computation tool was employed the Full Potential Linear Augmented Plane Wave method, based on Density Functional Theory and embodied in WIEN2k computer code. The crystal structure of both PE and FE phases was optimized using two different types of exchange and correlation potentials. The local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The lattice parameters from GGA calculation were obtained in better agreement with experimental than LDA result. Also, were analyzed two different GGA parameterizations: the so-called Perdew - Burke - Ernzerhof (PBE) and Wu - Cohen (WC). Comparing them, the result from GGA-PBE calculation is in better agreement with the experimental. After the structural optimization, the atomic positions were fully relaxed. In this step, was utilized the GGA with the PBE parameterization. The electronic properties were calculated from these optimized and relaxed structures and using the Tran and Blaha modified Becke-Johson potential. From these calculations were obtained an indirect band gap of 0,3 eV and a direct band gap of 1,6 eV in the PE and FE phases, respectively. The valence electronic density maps were obtained along the c axis of the phases PE and FE. It was observed when leave of the PE to the FE phase, the ionic character of Lu-O bonds was changed. By careful analysis of the calculated partial density of states, we showed that the loss of ionicity of the chemical bond is associated with the rehybridization of the 5dz2 - Lu with 2pz - O orbitals. This description corroborates with the model in which the mechanism of ferroelectricity of the hexagonal manganites is related with the rehybridization of the dz2 - Y or - Lu orbitals with 2pz - O s orbitals that are along the crystalline c axis. |
