Abstract

The primary and secondary pyroelectric effect in ferroelectric tetragonal PbTiO₃ perovskite oxide has been studied with quantum chemical methods. Hybrid PBEsol0 density functional method accurately reproduces the experimental crystal structure of PbTiO₃ and enables systematic studies on the pyroelectricity, lattice thermal conductivity, and other physical properties of PbTiO₃. Phonon anharmonicity and finite-temperature phonon properties necessary for the study of primary pyroelectricity are determined with the use of Self-Consistent Phonon Theory. Secondary pyroelectricity and the negative thermal expansion of PbTiO₃ are investigated with quasi-harmonic approximation. In comparison to another tetragonal ferroelectric perovskite oxide BaTiO₃, the primary pyroelectric coefficient of PbTiO₃ is increased by the contributions of the polarized Pb(II) A-site cations, and the secondary pyroelectric coefficient is increased by the negative thermal expansion.
