Structure and Properties of ZrO2:R3+: Ab Initio Calculation
摘要
Abstract
The properties of all polymorphs of ZrO2—monoclinic (m-ZrO2), tetragonal (t-ZrO2), and cubic (c-ZrO2) phases—were calculated using density functional theory. t-ZrO2 activated with Y3+, N3+, and S4+ was studied. It was shown that the activation of ZrO2 with nitrogen or sulfur extends the optical absorption edge to the visible region.
