Hello,

I am running calculations for lead titanate (PTO) and lead titanate/strontium titanate (PTO/STO) thin films and superlattices. I'm using the virtual crystal approximation (VCA), mixing the O atoms with a percentage of N and F to create a surface charge on the interfaces of the PTO layers. I didn't have any problems until I got up to 20% O and 80% N or F, now my output says that I have ghost states. I didn't have any problems up to 30% O and 70% N or F.

Has anyone had any experiences with VCA and ghost states? I thought it might have something to do with my choice of basis; I used the same basis for oxygen as I did for the mixed atoms, and this worked fine up to 30% oxygen. I suppose at that stage the mixed atoms are closer to N and F than O. My other guess is that 30% and beyond is a charge of > 0.7 electrons / unit cell surface area, which creates a polarisation that is greater or equal to the spontaneous polarisation of ferroelectric PTO, and I could be running into problems when I pass the spontaneous polarisation.

Could anyone give me some advice on how to deal with this, or potentially how I should modify the bases of the mixed atoms? Or any advice in general would be great. I've attached my input and output files.

Thanks,

Danny Bennett
