The objective of the present work is to investigate the possibilities for extrinsic defects in the three cadmium silicate matrices, CdSiO3, Cd2SiO4 and Cd3SiO5 and understand the final geometry of the most energetically favourable defects, which are...

Defects in MgB4O7 (pure and doped with lanthanides): A case study using a computational modelling approach (2022)
Journal Article

Lanthanide-doped MgB4O7 is a potential dosimetric material due to its thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) properties. These properties have been largely reported, but there are few theoretical studies dedicated to unde...
