Recent theoretical simulations using density functional theory (DFT) and novel low temperature high energy x-ray diffraction experiments clearly show the existence of a high pressure morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) in pure PbTiO3. The experiments show a richer phase diagram than the simulations, with multiple monoclinic phases (Pm and Cm) in the MPB region. In this paper we examine the MPB region in more detail using high precision DFT calculations within the local-density approximation (LDA) and the Wu-Cohen generalized gradient approximation. Our results support the polarization rotation theory and open up fresh possibilities for applying chemical pressure to engineer novel electromechanical materials. We also explain why the zone-boundary mode is more likely to be stable only at higher pressures above similar to 25 GPa and not at moderate pressures of similar to 10 GPa, using the LDA.
