Abstract
ABSTRACT MgF2 is a compound that is transparent to the full spectrum from UV to IR and is a good candidate for UV applications. Structural, optical, electronic and elastic properties of MgF2 compounds in the three phases in which our materials may crystallize have been studied using the linearized full potential self-consistent plane wave (FLAPW) method with Wu-Cohen generalized gradient approximation (WC-GGA) and modified Becke–Johnson potentials. The most remarkable is the similarity between the properties of the three phases at all levels (gaps, optical constants). A comparison of our outcomes with the literature indicates great agreement.
期刊介绍:
Phase Transitions is the only journal devoted exclusively to this important subject. It provides a focus for papers on most aspects of phase transitions in condensed matter. Although emphasis is placed primarily on experimental work, theoretical papers are welcome if they have some bearing on experimental results. The areas of interest include:
-structural phase transitions (ferroelectric, ferroelastic, multiferroic, order-disorder, Jahn-Teller, etc.) under a range of external parameters (temperature, pressure, strain, electric/magnetic fields, etc.)
-geophysical phase transitions
-metal-insulator phase transitions
-superconducting and superfluid transitions
-magnetic phase transitions
-critical phenomena and physical properties at phase transitions
-liquid crystals
-technological applications of phase transitions
-quantum phase transitions
Phase Transitions publishes both research papers and invited articles devoted to special topics. Major review papers are particularly welcome. A further emphasis of the journal is the publication of a selected number of small workshops, which are at the forefront of their field.
