摘要: First principles calculations using projector augmented wave potentials and generalized gradient approximations predicts the structural relaxations due to neutral positively charged oxygen defects (+1 +2) in bulk Gd2Zr2O7 leads asymmetric distortion around vacancy site. Electronic Density of states (D0S) analysis shows presence mainly contributed by Gd d f near conduction band minimum for double which is having lowest energy formation.
