We investigated H2O molecule adsorption that had an effect on the luminescence properties of the CsI(Na) crystal using experiments and first-principle calculations. We measured the emission spectra of the CsI(Na) crystal at different exposure times under gamma ray excitation. The experimental results showed that the energy resolution of the CsI(Na) crystal was worse when the crystal surface adsorbed more H2O molecules, and the crystal surface deliquescence decreased the luminescence efficiency of the CsI(Na) crystal. We studied the band structure, density of states, and optical properties changes caused by H2O molecule adsorption on the CsI(Na) (010) surface. The generalized gradient approximation (GGA) was used to describe the exchange and correlation potential between the electrons. Our calculation results showed that the band gap width of the CsI(Na) (010) surface decreased after adsorbing H2O molecules, while three new peaks appeared in the valence band, and the absorption coefficient decreased from 90,000 cm−1 to 65,000 cm−1, and the reflection coefficient decreased from 0.195 to 0.105. Further, the absorption coefficient was reduced by at least 25% because of H2O molecule adsorption, which led to the luminescence degradation of the CsI(Na) crystal.

Based on density functional theory (DFT) within the framework of the generalized gradient approximation method, we have studied the Cd1-xZnxS sphalerite crystal structure and optical properties. We calculated electronic and optical properties of Cd1-xZnxS at the doping concentration x = 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0. Optical properties (reflectivity, absorption coefficient, refractive index, dielectric function) and the electrical properties (band structure, electron density, etc.) are obtained including Zn-doing effects on the crystal structure, optical properties and electrical properties. With the increase of doping concentration x, the lattice parameter reduces from 0.5910 nm to 0.5409 nm; as a direct wide band gap semiconductor, its band gap increased from 1.15 to 2.22. Optical absorption coefficient increases with the increase of doping concentration, but the rate of increase is relatively small.

This work investigates the optical properties of Eu3+-activated La2Zr3(MoO4)9. A series of solid solutions with Eu3+ concentrations in the range of 0–100 % were prepared by conventional high temperature solid-state synthesis. An unusual change in the lattice parameters was observed. The phosphor exhibits a broad absorption band in the UV spectral region, and measurements on the non-doped material at 100 K were conducted to elucidate the nature of the absorption band. As demonstrated, Mo6+ charge transfer absorption negatively influences the luminescence efficiency of the phosphor. The temperature-dependent emission spectra revealed that the emission intensity exhibits a bi-sigmoidal temperature dependence. This behaviour results from competing absorption via Mo6+ charge transfer processes, which strongly decrease the efficiency of the phosphor. For application purposes, it is therefore advisable to choose materials that do not exhibit host absorption in the spectral range where excitation is expected.

Density functional theory (DFT) is performed to study the structural, electronic and optical properties of cubic fluoroperovskite AMF3( A = Cs ; M = Ca and Sr ) compounds. The calculations are based on the total-energy calculations within the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method. The exchange-correlation potential is treated by local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The structural properties, including lattice constants, bulk modulus and their pressure derivatives are in very good agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data. The calculations of the electronic band structure, density of states and charge density reveal that compounds are both ionic insulators. The optical properties (namely: the real and the imaginary parts of the dielectric function ε(ω), the refractive index n(ω) and the extinction coefficient k(ω)) were calculated for radiation up to 40.0 eV.

Magnetic and optical properties of (Mn, Fe)-doped SiC nanosheet (NS) are investigated using first principle calculations based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) within the Full Potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave (FP-LAPW) method. The Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) shows that doping SiC NS by Mn has a half-metal ferromagnetic behavior when one Si atom is replaced by Mn or Fe. We also study the effect of (Mn, Fe) doping on optical properties of SiC NS such as absorption coefficient and optical reflectivity as function of energy. We found that doping SiC NS increases the absorption coefficient, the optical conductivity and the reflectivity in the visible region.

The electronic properties and the optical properties of wurtzite InN are studied by the first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory. The calculations are based on the Generalized-Gradient Approximation (GGA) and implemented in Plane Wave Self-Consist Field (PWSCF). The optical properties of InN are investigated by the pseudo-potential method with PBEsol-GGA within the WIEN2K program. Band structure, density of states and dielectric functions are calculated detailedly. The energy transitions are observed and compared existing data at critical points. Moreover the new peak in between the region 12 eV to 14 eV should be due to transitions from the In-5p states to the N-2s states.

In this study, we have analyzed the electronic band structure and optical properties of AA-stacked bilayer graphene and its 2D analogues and compared the results with single layers. The calculations have been done using Density Functional Theory with Generalized Gradient Approximation as exchange correlation potential as in CASTEP. The study on electronic band structure shows the splitting of valence and conduction bands. A band gap of 0.342eV in graphene and an infinitesimally small gap in other 2D materials are generated. Similar to a single layer, AA-stacked bilayer materials also exhibit excellent optical properties throughout the optical region from infrared to ultraviolet. Optical properties are studied along both parallel (||) and perpendicular ( ) polarization directions. The complex dielectric function (ε) and the complex refractive index (N) are calculated. The calculated values of ε and N enable us to analyze optical absorption, reflectivity, conductivity, and the electron loss function. Inferences from the study of optical properties are presented. In general the optical properties are found to be enhanced compared to its corresponding single layer. The further study brings out greater inferences towards their direct application in the optical industry through a wide range of the optical spectrum.

The electronic structures and optical properties of pure, Ag-doped and S-doped α-Fe2O3 were studied using density functional theory (DFT). The calculation results show that the structure of α-Fe2O3 crystal changes after Ag and S doping, which leads to the different points of the high symmetry of Ag-doped and S-doped α-Fe2O3 with that of pure α-Fe2O3 in the energy band, as well as different Brillouin paths. In addition, the band gap of α-Fe2O3 becomes smaller after Ag and S doping, and the optical absorption peak shifts slightly toward the short wavelength, with the increased peak strength of S/α-Fe2O3 and the decreased peak strength of Ag/α-Fe2O3. However, the optical absorption in the visible range is enhanced after Ag and S doping compared with that of pure α-Fe2O3 when the wavelength is greater than 380 nm, and the optical absorption of S-doped α-Fe2O3 is stronger than that of Ag-doped α-Fe2O3.
