Electric polarization as a bulk quantity and its relation to surface charge

Vanderbilt, David, King-Smith, R. D.·1993·Physical Review B

Abstract

A definition of the electric polarization of an insulating crystalline solid is given in terms of the centers of charge of the Wannier functions of the occupied bands. The change of this quantity under an adiabatic evolution of the Hamiltonian has previously been shown to correspond to the physical change in polarization. Here, we show that the polarization as defined above also has a direct and predictive relationship to the surface charge which accumulates at an insulating surface or interface.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
