Mechanism of photoluminescence in intrinsically disordered CaZrO3 crystals: First principles modeling of the excited electronic states

2017

Abstract CaZrO3 (CZO) powders obtained by the polymeric precursor method at 400 °C, and then, the samples were annealed at different temperatures (400, 600, 800, and 1000 °C) and characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopic methods, along with photoluminescence (PL) emissions. First principle calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT), using a periodic cell models, provide a theoretical framework for understanding the PL spectra based on the localization and characterization of the ground and electronic excited states. Fundamental (singlet, s ) and excited (singlet, s* , and triplet, t* ) electronic states were localized and characterized us…
