Abstract
Optical and defect properties of Eu3+ substitution on the crystal structure of Na2MSiO4 (M = Mg, Zn) were investigated using computational modeling. The study of intrinsic defect revealed that defects involve anionic vacancies and Frenkel-type defects are the most favorable to occur. For Eu3+ doping, charge compensation occurs predominantly via antisite defects (), together with the substitution of Eu3+ at the divalent cation site. The results also reveal that the local distortions caused by Eu3+ result in a slightly altered C3 symmetry. These results contribute to the understanding of the optical properties of lanthanide-doped compounds and can be used to design new luminescent materials for technological applications.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.
We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
