Abstract The suitability of Ba2MgWO6 (BMW) double perovskite doped with Eu3+ for the construction of an optical thermometer was tested. It has been shown that by controlling the conditions of BMW synthesis, the sensitivity of the optical thermometer and the useful range of its work can be changed. Pure BMW and doped with Eu3+ samples were prepared using the mechano-chemical (MC) and co-precipitation (CP) methods. Both the absolute sensitivity and the relative sensitivity in relation to the synthesis route are estimated. The findings proved that the relative sensitivity can be modulated from 1.17 %K− 1 at 248 K, to 1.5%K− 1 at 120 K for the co-precipitation and the mechanochemical samples, respectively. These spectacular results confirm the applicability of the Ba2MgWO6: Eu3+ for the novel luminescent sensors in high-precision temperature detection devices. Density-functional theory (DFT) was applied to elucidate the origin of the host emission.

Abstract Synthesis routes to rutile-type oxides with 4d and 5d transition elements are summarized. Trends in electronic structure have been established through an analysis in the framework of density functional theory presenting the band structure, the density of states and the properties of chemical bonding. The metal-oxygen bond is found to play the major role in bonding of the system in the valence band. Throughout the series 4d → 5d (RuO2, RhO2, PdO2 and PtO2) the crystal field analysis of the band structure shows a lowering of eg towards t2g manifolds and a broadening of the overall density of states. In the vicinity of the Fermi level the role of the antibonding metal-oxygen character is investigated in the context of instability towards possible magnetic polarization, especially for RuO2.

The electronic structure of the dodecahedral Si 20 fullerene obtained in the density-functional theory is discussed. In addition, the Si 46 lattice, which is known to be the real geometry of the Si atoms when crystallized with metal atoms, is pointed out to be essentially solid Si 20, and its geometrical and electronic properties are also discussed. The novel pentagonal bond network in these materials is found to have strong influence on their electronic structure. In the case of Na 2 Ba 6 Si 46, which is the ideal phase of superconducting-doped solid Si 20, the high Fermi-level density of states due to the hybridization between the Ba states and the Si 46 conduction-band states is considered to be important for the observed superconductivity.

First principles density functional theory — based (GW) method — was used to simulate the electronic structure of the novel iron-based superconductor K 0.8 Fe 2 Se 2. The calculated band gap of K 0.8 Fe 2 Se 2 at the Γ point is 0.15 eV, which is significantly lower than the 0.61 eV of vacancy free crystal KFe 2 Se 2. The d-orbital of Fe atom is overlapped with the p-orbital of Se atom. Charge density analysis shows strong lattice distortion and vacancy related electric dipole and quadruple near the K vacancy. The reflectivity is anisotropic in three coordinate directions.
