Abstract
The entire zone-center phonon spectrum of the ferroelectric antiferromagnetic phase of bismuth ferrite is computed using a first-principles approach based on density functional theory. Two phonon modes exhibiting eigendisplacement vectors that strongly overlap with the atomic distortions taking place at the ferroelectric structural phase transition are identified and give support to a transition with displacive character. Both Raman and infrared reflectivity spectra are also computed, providing benchmark theoretical results for the assignment of experimental spectra.
