Lattice-mediated bulk flexoelectricity from first principles
Miquel Royo,
Massimiliano Stengel
Abstract:We present the derivation and code implementation of a first-principles methodology to calculate the lattice-mediated contributions to the bulk flexoelectric tensor. The approach is based on our recent analytical long-wavelength extension of density-functional perturbation theory [Royo and Stengel, Phys. Rev. X 9, 021050 (2019)], and avoids the cumbersome numerical derivatives with respect to the wave vector that were adopted in previous implementations. To substantiate our results, we revisit and numerically … Show more
