Abstract
Unified calculations of whole energy levels, zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameter D and spin resonance g factor of the ground state for Co2+ in Cs3CoCl5 have been carried out by a combined method of the first-principles calculations and ligand field theory (LFT). In the calculations, no adjustable parameter is used and all the parameters needed in the LFT calculation are determined by first-principles calculations. The configuration interaction through Coulomb interaction, low-symmetry ligand field, and spin-orbital coupling (SOC) interaction are taken into account. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental observations overall. It demonstrates that the combined method of first-principles calculations with LFT can not only reproduce experimental results but also predict the fine energy structure of multiplet splittings.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
