Fig. 14: Electric polarization profiles in BaTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices.

a Computed polarization enhancement (Pλ/P0) decomposition on each layer λ based on the Born effective charges and atomic displacements. b Overall enhancement as a function of α = ℓSTO/ℓBTO computed from first-principles calculations (filled circle) compared with that from dielectric slab model (dashed line).
