Kurzfassung:
The energetic stability, structural and electronic properties of tetragonal, orthorhombic, as well as monoclinic K0.5Na0.5NbO3 are systematically studied using first-principles supercell model and virtual crystal approximation based on density functional theory with local density approximation and generalized gradient approximation. Our calculated results show that the total energy differences among the three K0.5Na0.5NbO3 phases are small, which are well consistent with the easy phase equilibrium at the phase boundary in the experiments. Furthermore, we also find that the total energy of the monoclinic phase is lower than that of the other two phases, which suggests that the monoclinic structure is energetically more stable than the others. Moreover, the calculated structural parameters are in good agreement with experimental values. In addition, the electronic structure results show that the bonding interaction in the monoclinic structure is stronger than that in the other structures, also indicating that the monoclinic structure is the most stable one.
