Abstract

The spatial-structural models of clusters of rare-earth-doped aluminum-yttrium garnet−Nd/Sm/Eu/Gd:YAG−were optimized using the DFT/uB3PW91/SDD method to achieve minimum potential energy. The characteristic bond lengths, angles, charge values, as well as their changes upon substitution of one yttrium atom by Nd3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Gd3+ ions were determined. The calculation of IR spectra and the correlation of absorption bands of calculated and recorded wave numbers for crystalline YAG and Nd/Sm/Eu/Gd: YAG nanoclusters were performed. The electronic spectrum for Nd/Sm/Eu:YAG models was calculated by the TD-SCF/gen/def2-SVP method. The energies of the levels were determined and the band gap was calculated.
