Ab initio calculations of pure and Co+2-doped MgF2 crystals

This research was partly supported by the Kazakhstan Science Project № AP05134367«Synthesis of nanocrystals in track templates of SiO2/Si for sensory, nano- and optoelectronic applications», as well as by Latvian Research Council project lzp-2018/1-0214. Calculations were performed on Super Cluster (LASC) in the Institute of Solid State Physics (ISSP) of the University of Latvia. Authors are indebted to S. Piskunov for stimulating discussions.
