First-principles study of luminescence in Eu-doped inorganic scintillators

A. Chaudhry, R. Boutchko, S. Chourou +3

Luminescence in Eu activated materials corresponds to a transition from an excited state where the lowest Eu 5 level is filled with one electron (often called the (Eu$^{2…

First-principles studies of Ce-doped RE2M2O7 (RE=Y,La;M=Ti,Zr,Hf): A class of non-scintillators

A. Chaudhry, A. Canning, R. Boutchko +3

Lanthanum and yttrium compounds with composition RE2M2O7 (RE=Y, La; M = Ti, Zr, Hf) have high density and high Z and can be doped with Ce onto the La and Y sites. This makes these…

First-Principles Studies of Luminescence in Ce doped Inorganic Scintillators

A. Canning, A. Chaudhry, R. Boutchko +1

Luminescence in Ce doped materials corresponds to a transition from an excited state where the lowest Ce 5d level is filled to the ground state where a single 4f level is filled. W…

Prediction of a Strain Induced Conduction Band Minimum in Embedded Quantum Dots

A. J. Williamson, Alex Zunger, A. Canning

Free standing InP quantum dots have previously been theoretically and experimentally shown to have a direct band gap across a large range of experimentally accessible sizes. We dem…

Carbon superatom thin films

A. Canning, G. Galli, J. Kim

Assembling clusters on surfaces has emerged as a novel way to grow thin films with targeted properties. In particular, it has been proposed from experimental findings that fulleren…
