Ab-initio modelling of defects in MgO

The energetics of the key defects that are observed to occur during simulations of radiation damage in MgO are analysed using density functional theory. The results are compared with those from the empirical potentials used to carry out the radiation damage studies. The formation energies of vacanci...
