Electronic Origin of Defect States in Fe-Doped LiNbO3 Ferroelectrics

We investigate the role of Fe in the electronic structure of ferroelectric LiNbO3 by density-functional theory calculations. We show that Fe2+ on the Li site (Fe2+Li) features a displacement opposite to the direction of spontaneous polarization and acts as a trigger for the bulk photovoltaic (PV) ef...
