Significant Improvement in The Piezoelectric Properties and Electromechanical Coupling Factors of Wurtzite AlN Compound Under High Pressures

Résumé

Abstract This work describes a theoretical study of the pressure effect in structural, elastic, piezoelectric and dielectric properties as well as electromechanical coupling factors of wurtzite AlN, obtained by ab-initio calculations using pseudo-potential plane waves (PP-PW) that combine the density functional theory (DFT) and density functional perturbation theory (DFPT). The results of the calculation indicate that the parameters of AlN crystal cells and the volume of AlN crystallin crystal cells decrease notably with increasing pressures from 0 to 40 GPa. Due to an increase in the value of the direct piezoelectric constant ( Tand a decrease in the value of the elastic constant (h), there is a significant improvement in the value of the converse piezoelectric constant (i). The improvement in the piezoelectric value leads to a higher value in electromechanical coupling coefficient. Our results agree well with previous theoretical and experimental research. We hope that our results will provide guidelines for the realistic application as well as further research of high-performance compounds appropriate for applications in a multitude of fields of study, such as biomedical engineering.
