XWXue WenRXRui XiaYZYi-Min Zheng

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how biaxial strain affects the structural and electronic properties of KTN.
  • Utilized first-principles calculations to analyze material properties.
  • Investigated a range of biaxial strain from -30% to 30%.
  • Assessed stability and photoelectric characteristics of KTN under these conditions.
  • Structural stability varied significantly with applied strain.
  • Notable changes in electronic properties under specific strain levels were observed.
  • Strain significantly influences the photocatalytic effectiveness of KTN.

Abstract

Based on first-principles calculations, this study systematically investigated the evolution of structural stability, electronic structure, and bulk photoelectric properties of K(Ta 0.5 Nb 0.5 )O 3 (KTN) under biaxial strain ranging from −30% to 30%.
