Abstract

The prospect of lattice structure and ferroelectricity of SnTiO₃ have been studied by first-principles calculations within local density approximation. The results showed that the SnTiO₃ has the minimum total energy within almost tetragonal perovskite structure of a=fr=3.80 Å, c=4.09 Å. The calculated electronic structure of SnTiO₃ resembles that of PbTiO₃ because the Ti 3d states, Sn 5s and 5p states hybridize with the O 2p orbitals. The moment of spontaneous polarization of SnTiO₃ was estimated as 73 μ C/cm², which is as large as that of PbTiO₃.
