Abstract
We develop a general and unified first-principles theory of piezoelectric and flexoelectric tensor, formulated in such a way that the tensor elements can be computed directly in the context of density-functional calculations, including electronic and lattice contributions. We introduce a practical supercell-based methods for calculating the flexoelectric coefficients from first principles, and demonstrate them by computing the coefficients for a variety of cubic insulating materials, including C, Si, MgO, NaCl, CsCl, BaZrO3, BaTiO3, PbTiO3 and SrTiO3.
