The empty orbital model in perovskite ATiO3-type (A=Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba) ferroelectrics with oxygen octahedra has been proposed. In this study, the impact of temperature on the bond energy of Ti-O has been discussed from the point of view of statistical thermodynamics, then the temperature dependence of equilibrium position of Ti ion has been calculated. The results show that because of the existence of empty orbital, with temperatrue decreasing the repulsion energy of Ti and O ions reduces and the Ti ion shift the equilibrium position in the cooling through the Curie temperature owing to Coulomb interaction. Ferroelectric phase transition in perovskite are successfully explained. Theoretical and experimental results for perovskite ATiO3-type ferroelectrics are compared and discussed.

In this paper the micro mechanism of BaTiO3 ferroelectric phase transition is studied based on the thermodynamic model using electron cloud model, and further the Curie - Weiss law is explained. The results indicate that the contraction of the electron cloud, as the temperature decreased through Curie temperature, causes oxygen ions shift the equilibrium position, and the Coulomb attraction makes Ti ion shift the equilibrium position causing phase transition; With temperature rising, the ion displacement polarization decreases owing to the electron cloud expansion effect, and the variation of dielectric constant with temperature follows the Curie - Weiss law.

The measurements of SbSCl x I 1-x(x = 0.2) temperature dependent capacitance were carried out. The temperature of ferroelectric phase transition TC ≈340 K was measured experimentally. TC of SbSCl x I 1-x was calculated theoretically in anharmonic and harmonic approximations. TC was calculated in anharmonic approximation using temperature dependence of mean potential energy of Sb atoms as a function of the soft B1u symmetry normal coordinate along c(z)-axis. Moreover, TC was calculated in harmonic approximation using temperature dependence of vibrational thermodynamic functions (Helmholc free energy). TC dependence from unit cell parameters a, b and from mixture composition x was carried out.

Abstract The predictions obtained with a thermodynamical method are compared with experimental results. Several materials which pass a ferroelectric phase transition of first or second order are investigated. The predictions correspond well with the experimentaly determined qualitative and quantitative features as to the field and temperature dependence. Finally, extraordinary strain-field curves are predicted and proved.

The characteristics of MIS structures based on insulating PbSnTe:In films with compositions in the vicinity of a band inversion grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) were studied. It has been shown that a number of their features can be caused by a ferroelectric phase transition with a Curie temperature in the range T ≈ 15–20 K.
