Ab initio predictions of ferroelectric ternary fluorides with the LiNbO3 structure
Frederik Claeyssens, Josep M. Oliva, Daniel Sánchez-Portal and Neil L. Allan
First-principles periodic density-functional theory calculations suggest ternary fluorides LiMgF3, NaCaF3 and LiNiF3 should adopt the ferroelectric LiNbO3 structure at low temperatures; LiMgF3 and LiNiF3 are predicted to have negative enthalpies of formation from the binary fluorides.
