Effect of Defects on Spontaneous Polarization in Pure and Doped LiNbO3: First-Principles Calculations

Numerous studies have indicated that intrinsic defects in lithium niobate (LN) dominate its physical properties. In an Nb-rich environment, the structure that consists of a niobium anti-site with four lithium vacancies is considered the most stable structure. Based on the density functional theory (...
