H. Donnerberg et Cra. Catlow, ATOMISTIC COMPUTER-SIMULATIONS OF YTTRIUM-IRON-GARNET AS AN APPROACH TO STUDYING ITS DEFECT CHEMISTRY - EXTRINSIC DEFECTS, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 50(2), 1994, pp. 744-750
We report results of atomistic simulation studies concerning the incor
poration of extrinsic defects in yttrium iron garnet crystals. We calc
ulate defect formation energies in order to determine the most favorab
le impurity incorporation mechanisms in yttrium iron garnet.
