Abstract: Quantum chemistry calculations of PbTiO3 nanocrystals were carried out by means of the cluster model via DFT-DVMcalculating program on which the regularity among the bond lengths, bond orders, and valance charges are drawn. The analyses of the population and the density of state (DOS) show that the interaction among3 d of Ti, 2 p of O, and 6 s and 6 p of Pb atomic orbitals causes the dipole moment and spontaneous polarization on the axis of the crystal, which results in the appearance of ferroelectric phase, the dipole moment and the intensity of the spontaneous polarization were calculated as well.

Key words: DFT, PbTiO3 Nanocrystals, Spontaneous polarization, Electronic Structure
