Linearized Augmented Plane Wave

The full potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the generalized gradient approximation was used to calculate electronic structure of nanocrystalline BaTiO3 ceramics. We calculated the total and partial density of states of 50 nm BaTiO3 ceramics. The results show that the atoms distribution of nanograin BaTiO3 ceramics is different from those of coarse BaTiO3 ceramics. It is also revealed that the hybridization between Ti 3d and O 2p is very strong, which is very important to the ferroelectric stability of nanocrystalline BaTiO3 ceramics.

Vacuum Effect

The segregation of Cu atoms in the Cu/Ni multilayers was investigated by means of the full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method with the generalized-gradient approximation formula. We investigated the segregation of Cu atoms when the Cu/Ni slab is along the (001) and (111) directions, respectively. The results obtained show that at most one-layer Cu atoms can segregate to the Ni surface when Ni films are deposited on the Cu substrate and the segregation of Cu atoms is not sensitive to the orientation of the Cu/Ni slab surface. The result of Cu segregation is to reduce the vacuum effect.
