Abstract

Effect of Al addition on the yellowness of V-doped t-ZrO2 -A first-principles study-Absorption coefficient Supercell used in the first-principles energy band calculations In t-ZrO 2 , the HSE06 functional better reproduces the experimental band gap compared to GGA. Doping V results in the formation of impurity states within the band gap of ZrO 2 , due to the V3d orbitals.The bright yellow color of (V, Al)-doped t-ZrO, as experimentally observed, is due to the formation of oxygen vacancies.Conclusion
