Meg. Valerio et al., COMPUTER MODELING OF BALIF3 - II - DEFECTS PRODUCED BY DIVALENT DOPANTS, Journal of physics. Condensed matter, 10(15), 1998, pp. 3353-3358
A computational study of the doping of BaLiF3 by divalent ions (Pb2+,
Ni2+ and Co2+) is presented. The calculations provide information on t
he energies involved in the doping process, and the consequent lattice
relaxation. Predictions of the sites occupied by the dopant ions are
made, which are supported by experimental results.
