摘要
First principles calculations using projector augmented wave potentials and generalized gradient approximations predicts the structural relaxations due to neutral and positively charged oxygen defects (+1 and +2) in bulk Gd2Zr2O7 leads to asymmetric distortion around the vacancy site. Electronic Density of states (DOS) analysis shows presence of defects states mainly contributed by Gd d and f states near the conduction band minimum for the double positively charged oxygen vacancy which is having lowest energy of formation.
