摘要: Abstract The local symmetry of the Eu3+ was obtained through atomistic simulation and crystal field models applied to lanthanides. Structural properties such as lattice parameters unit cell volume were reproduced using a set empirical interatomic potentials with good accuracy. LiF Anti-Schottky intrinsic defect most favourable energetically. solution energy by bound extrinsic defects showed that prefers Li+ site compensated lithium vacancy. Spectroscopic calculations revealed europium occupies luminescent distorted inversion centre. A slightly D4h is charge factors: g1 = 0.629, g2 = 0.738, g3 = 0.627 g4 = 0.625, which satisfactorily 7F1 manifold splitting 7F1, 7F2 5D1 sublevels.
