β¦ Synopsis
We have performed first-principles calculations on the organic compound tetrathiafulvalene-pchloranil (TTF-CA: TTF ΒΌ C 6 H 4 S 4 , CA ΒΌ C 6 Cl 4 O 2 ) in order to evaluate its spontaneous polarization. The obtained value on the experimental structure is 0:10 C=m 2 while it is 0:12 C=m 2 on the structure with the computationally optimized atomic positions. These values are significantly larger than the existing experimental value of 0:4 Γ 10 -2 C=m 2 [E. Collet, Ph.D. Thesis, University of Rennes 1, 1999]. The origin of the calculated large spontaneous polarization is discussed.
