We perform first-principles electronic structure calculations for the lead-free perovskite SnTiO3. Structural optimization is carried out to get the stable tetragonal P4mm structure. Frozen-phonon calculation shows the lattice instability at the centrosymmetric tetragonal P4/mmm structure and the local stability of the P4mm structure. By using the Berry-phase method, the electric polarization and the piezoelectric coefficients are evaluated and found to be comparable with those of PbTiO3.
