Abstract
This research paper investigates the relationship between classic ferroelectricity and lattice disorder in perovskite materials. Using molecular dynamics (MD) and density functional theory (DFT) simulations, the authors demonstrate a correlation between cation hopping, the formation of polarization nanoclusters, and domain wall structures. The study reveals the impact of lattice disorder on domain wall structures at finite temperatures, the development of hierarchical morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) nanostructures under pressure, and the potential for manipulating lattice disorder through shear strain.
