Abstract

This work investigates the effects of europium doping in lead phosphate using Density Functional Theory (DFT). The structures \(\text {Pb}_{5}\text {P}_{8}\text {O}_{26}\):Eu and \(\text {Pb}_{6}\text {P}_{8}\text {O}_{26}\):Eu were analyzed, considering substitutional and interstitial defects, respectively. Joint densities of states (JDOS), real and imaginary dielectric functions, and electronic energy loss spectra (EELS) and the calculated response on the imaginary frequency axis were evaluated. The analysis of the electronic states and the joint density of the states of the structures revealed electronic transitions favored by doping, indicating that these compounds have potential for use in optoelectronic and energy storage devices. The results highlight the importance of rare earth doping for tuning structural and optical properties in materials based on lead phosphate.

掺铕磷酸铅的光学和电子性质的计算研究

本文利用密度泛函理论（DFT）研究了铕掺杂对磷酸铅的影响。对结构\(\text {Pb}_{5}\text {P}_{8}\text {O}_{26}\):Eu和\(\text {Pb}_{6}\text {P}_{8}\text {O}_{26}\):Eu进行了分析，分别考虑了取代缺陷和间隙缺陷。评估了态的联合密度（JDOS）、实、虚介电函数、电子能量损失谱（EELS）以及在虚频率轴上的计算响应。通过对结构的电子态和连接密度的分析，揭示了掺杂对电子跃迁的有利作用，表明这些化合物在光电和储能器件中具有潜在的应用前景。研究结果强调了稀土掺杂对调整磷酸铅基材料的结构和光学性质的重要性。
