Abstract
Fully relaxed, planewave pseudopotential calculations of total energies were performed for three ordered perovskite related supercells in each of the eight different stoichiometries of A(B1/3B'2/3)O3; A=Pb, Ba and B=Zn, Mg and B' = Nb, Ta; and the four stoichiometries of A (Sc1/2B'1/2)O3. A Striking difference between the Pb(B1/3B'2/3)O3 systems and their Ba-counterparts is that the differences in total energies for Pb-systems span ranges that are roughly an order of magnitude smaller than those for the corresponding Ba-systems. This indicates much lower energetic barriers to disordering of B - site cations in the Pb-systems, consistent with experiments. We explain this trend as a consequence of enhanced Pb - O bonding to underbonded oxygens in B2. - O - B2. environments.
