InMnO 3: Origin of ferroelectricity (geometric)<br />

Q K: Tilting of MnO 5 polyhedra (unstable)<br />

Q Г: Ferroelectric mode (stable)<br />

Born charges: Nominal (In, 3+), (Mn, 3+).<br />

Off-centering of In and Mn is not favored<br />

~ 8 and 15 eV/A 2 (very stable)<br />

K 3 mode: is the primary instability (electrostatics)<br />

Г mode feels a <strong>for</strong>ce once K 3 is frozen in.
