Computer modelling of optical materials for laser applications : rare earth doping in YLiF4 and BaMgF4

In the field of solid-state laser materials, YLiF4 and BaMgF4 are two actively researched systems, with YLiF4 having been shown as a viable laser source. BaMgF4 is less developed. The work presented here provides an atomistic computational chemistry study into the two materials. A introduction to th...
