Topological phases in polar oxide nanostructures

Javier Junquera et al.

Summary: The past decade has witnessed significant progress in understanding emergent topological polar textures in oxide nanostructures, including vortices, skyrmions, merons, hopfions, dipolar waves, and labyrinthine domains. The discovery of low-dimensional ferroelectric oxide nanostructures has altered the perceived energy cost associated with the formation of these structures, allowing for manipulation of order parameters. This review provides a historical context, scientific description, and discussion of the potential applications and future challenges in this field.

Quantum paraelectricity and structural phase transitions in strontium titanate beyond density functional theory

Carla Verdi et al.

Summary: We propose a method to accurately calculate temperature-dependent quantum and anharmonic effects by combining machine-learned potentials and the stochastic self-consistent harmonic approximation. The approach is applied to study the cubic to tetragonal transition in strontium titanate and reveals that anharmonic quantum fluctuations stabilize the paraelectric phase. Additionally, we find that a higher-level treatment of electronic correlation effects using the random phase approximation is necessary for a quantitative understanding of the quantum paraelectric behavior. This approach enables detailed investigations of emergent properties in strongly anharmonic materials beyond density-functional theory.

Temperature-Dependent Anharmonic Phonons in Quantum Paraelectric KTaO3 by First Principles and Machine-Learned Force Fields

Luigi Ranalli et al.

Summary: This study combines density functional theory calculations with a machine-learned force field method to investigate the quantum paraelectric state in the quantum ferroelectric material KTaO3. The results demonstrate the importance of including anharmonic terms to stabilize the spurious imaginary ferroelectric phonon predicted by DFT in the harmonic approximation, in agreement with experiments. This work proposes a robust computational workflow capable of accounting for collective behaviors involving different degrees of freedom and occurring at large time/length scales, paving the way for precise modeling and control of quantum effects in materials.

Hard antiphase domain boundaries in strontium titanate unravelled using machine-learned force fields

A. Troester et al.

Summary: In this study, the properties of hard antiphase boundaries in SrTiO3 were investigated using machine-learned force fields. The results showed that the observed domain wall pattern maintained Neel character and the in-plane polarization did not decay to zero, providing evidence for the presence of rotopolar couplings. This approach overcomes the limitations of ab initio simulations and allows for accurate predictions of domain-wall properties at finite temperatures.

Machine learning for condensed matter physics

Edwin Bedolla et al.

Summary: Condensed Matter Physics (CMP) aims to understand microscopic interactions of matter at quantum and atomistic levels, and how they lead to mesoscopic and macroscopic properties. It overlaps with various other sciences like chemistry, materials science, statistical physics, and high-performance computing. The advancement in modern machine learning technology has sparked interest in applying ML algorithms to further CMP research, creating a new area of study at the intersection of both fields.

The stochastic self-consistent harmonic approximation: calculating vibrational properties of materials with full quantum and anharmonic effects

Lorenzo Monacelli et al.

Summary: This paper presents the implementation of the stochastic self-consistent harmonic approximation (SSCHA) method in Python for efficient and accurate calculation of the thermodynamics of crystals, including free energy, atomic structure, and phonon spectrum. The method can be used to determine phase diagrams and calculate phase boundaries for first-order and second-order phase transitions. Additionally, it is capable of computing anharmonic phonon spectra, phonon linewidths, and spectral functions.

Low temperature ferroelectricity in Strontium Titanate domain walls detected by depolarization pyrocurrents

R. Cabassi et al.

Summary: The low-temperature phenomenology of Strontium Titanate is rich in anomalies producing signals of small intensity. By using depolarization pyrocurrents, these features can be greatly enhanced, particularly revealing anomalies at T=16, 24, and 45 K which can be associated with ferroelectricity and the emergence of ferroelectricity in domain walls.
