Abstract: | The results from ab initio quantum chemical calculations for inorganic scintillators BaBrI:Eu2+ and BaСlI:Eu2+ are presented. The calculations were performed using the density functional theory and the VASP software package. Estimates are made for the band-gap width of the crystals, and for the locations of 4f- and 5d-levels of Eu2+ ions with respect to the valence and conduction bands, respectively, and the possibility of using a new material based on BaСlI:Eu2+ as a scintillator is evaluated. |
