First-principles study on the influence mechanisms of A-site multielement doping on the structure and optical properties of BaTiO3 ceramics
摘要
This paper employs first-principles calculations to investigate the structural electronic and optical property variation mechanisms of A-site composite element doped BaTiO3 ceramics BaBiXTiO3 (X = Be2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ra2+). Through calculations of the systems’ band structures density of states dielectric functions reflectivity refractive indices optical absorption coefficients and extinction coefficients, it is found that A-site Be2+ doping achieves high static permittivity (ε0 = 146.77) in the low-energy region through lattice distortion and oxygen vacancy compensation demonstrating potential in metamaterial design; Mg2+ exhibits extreme ultraviolet (EUV) response (ε2 = 17.05) suitable for EUV detectors; the low-loss characteristics and structural stability of Ca2+/Sr2+ provide theoretical foundations for high-frequency filters. This study reveals the critical roles of doping element ionic radii valence states and orbital hybridization in multiband optical responses providing theoretical guidance for designing high-voltage capacitors photocatalytic materials and nuclear radiation shielding devices.
