This study was based on the as- sumption that the distance between the dopant ions affects the energy of crystal volume at proximity. According to this idea, semi-empirical and ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed on various supercells of YVO4:Eu3+ as a model system. It was noted that a shorter Eu-Eu distance resulted in lower total energy of the system, compared to an analogous structure with distant Eu3+ ions. As lower energy configurations are preferred, the observed phenomenon was considered to be related to dopant ions clusters formation. Additionally, the values of energies obtained from DFT calculations were used to estimate the per- centage of dopant ions occurring as pairs, for different dopant concentrations. The estimation agreed quite well with the available lit- erature data.展开更多
