Fig. 1: DFT predicted stabilities of the AFE and FiE phases.

From: Room-temperature stabilizing strongly competing ferrielectric and antiferroelectric phases in PbZrO3 by strain-mediated phase separation

Fig. 1

Total energies of the FiE and AFE phases as a function of epitaxial biaxial strains in (100) plane (a) and in (001) plane (b). The insets show the schematic diagram of applied biaxial strain, where both FiE and AFE phase have their dipole ordering in (001) plane along [110] or [1\(\bar{1}\)0] direction.
