Thermal analysis and Raman spectra were carried out in SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) nanoparticles to investigate phase transitions. Two anomalies have been observed in temperature dependence of specific heat for SBT nanoparticles. Under the combination with Raman spectra, it indicates that there exists a new ferroelectric intermediate phase in the phase-transition sequence. So we can conclude that the phase-transition sequence in SBT nanoparticles should be ferroelectric-ferroelectric-paraelectric. Moreover, the size effect was discussed in consideration of inner compressive stress in nanoparticles for this special transition behavior. The calculated results show that the SBT nanoparticles keep the ferroelectricity until the particle size is decreased to 4.2 nm.

AbstractThe proximity to structural phase transitions in IV-VI thermoelectric materials is one of the main reasons for their large phonon anharmonicity and intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity κ. However, the κ of GeTe increases at the ferroelectric phase transition near 700 K. Using first-principles calculations with the temperature dependent effective potential method, we show that this rise in κ is the consequence of negative thermal expansion in the rhombohedral phase and increase in the phonon lifetimes in the high-symmetry phase. Strong anharmonicity near the phase transition induces non-Lorentzian shapes of the phonon power spectra. To account for these effects, we implement a method of calculating κ based on the Green-Kubo approach and find that the Boltzmann transport equation underestimates κ near the phase transition. Our findings elucidate the influence of structural phase transitions on κ and provide guidance for design of better thermoelectric materials.
