摘要
We have studied the structure and spectroscopic properties of the oxygen divacancy defect in Yttrium-stabilized ZrO2 using periodic and embedded cluster methods and GGA and B3LYP density functionals. The results demonstrate that the defect spectroscopic properties depend on the particular arrangement of Y dopants near vacancies. The optical transition energies calculated for the negatively charged state of the divacancy at 2.8 eV and 3.3 eV are in agreement with experimental data. The second set of transitions between 1.9 eV and 2.7 eV corresponds to the electron transfer between vacancies. The calculated EPR g-tensor values are in agreement with other works. The results support the proposed attribution of the optical absorption peaking at 3.3 eV and related EPR spectra to Zr3+ ions in the YSZ matrix, however, they are not fully conclusive due to dependence on Y concentration.
