Hybrid functional study on the ferroelectricity of domain walls with O-vacancies in PbTiO3

Nonlinear defect interactions between the 180° domain wall and oxygen-vacancies (O-vacancies) in PbTiO3, and the characteristic ferroelectricity due to the interactions are investigated using first-principles calculations based on the hybrid Hartree-Fock (HF) density functionals, which correctly rep...
