In the structures of Bi^+-doped TlCdCl_3 and TlCdI_3 crystals, the Cd, Cl, and I sites are found to be defect-free. The vacancies in the Tl sites and interstitial Bi atoms located in the vicinity of the Tl sites are detected in the structures of both samples. In the Bi^+-doped TlCdCl_3, the presence of a small amount of Bi^+ ions in the Tl^+ sites is possible. The correlation between photoluminescence bands and point defects in the refined structures are determined. Photoluminescence spectra and decay kinetics of the Bi+-doped TlCdCl_3 and TlCdI_3 demonstrate that they are attractive materials for potential applications in photonics.展开更多

Three cases for stabilities of a He atom at the surface are found: some of He atoms at surface atomic layers (SAL) relax into vacuum gap; some of surface He atoms at octahedral interstitial site relax into more stable tetrahedral interstitial site; some of surface He atoms still stay at tetrahedral interstitial site. The un-stability of the He atom at the surface system can be explained by deformation mechanism of charge densities and electronic densities of states. It is found that formation energy of the point defects from the topmost SAL to bulk-like atomic layer increase gradually, for example, the formation energies of a monovacancy at the first five topmost SALs are equal to 0.33, 1.56, 2.04, 2.02 and 2.11 eV, respectively. The magnetic moments of Fe atoms in the surface atomic layers are also calculated.展开更多

The γ-ray irradiation dose is too large to recognize any character peak of F2, F2, F2, and F3 centers in the transmission and reflection spectra of the single crystal. LiF: Fn is opaque when wavelength is shorter than about 750nm and has not refiection when wavelength is shorter than about 800nm. The Fn center has a wide ESR peak with ΔBpp of 8 millitesla and the effect g-factor is 1.998±0.002.展开更多
