研究目的
Investigating the electronic structure and optical properties of host and Cs doped KMgCl3 to predict impurity-induced cross luminescence.
研究成果
KMgCl3 doped with Cs is predicted to be a better cross luminescence material than the host compound, as Cs doping introduces additional states below the valence band, reducing the energy difference and satisfying the criteria for cross luminescence. The host compound is optically isotropic in the low energy region.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and computational, lacking experimental validation. Doping was limited to 25% due to computational resource constraints. No experimental data available for comparison of optical properties.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Ab-initio calculations using the Full Potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave (FP-LAPW) method implemented in the WIEN2k package, with the Tran and Blaha modified Becke-Johnson (TB-mBJ) potential for accurate band gap and optical spectra prediction. Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) was also used for comparison. Tetrahedron method for k-point integration over the Brillouin zone.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
KMgCl3 host compound and Cs doped KMgCl3 (25% doping by replacing K atoms with Cs in a 2x2x1 supercell). Experimental lattice parameters and optimized lattice positions were used.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Computational resources (software: WIEN2k package).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Calculations performed with Rmt×Kmax=9, k-mesh of 14×9×14 (320 k-points in IBZ) for electronic structure and 19×13×19 (700 k-points in IBZ) for optical properties of host; 17×8×6 k-mesh for electronic structure and 30×15×10 k-mesh for optical properties of doped compound. Dielectric function, refractive index, absorption coefficient, electron energy loss function, and reflectivity were calculated.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Analysis of band structure, density of states, charge density, and optical properties using theoretical models and equations provided in the paper.
