The combination of optical and mechanical properties of calcium lanthanum sulfide (CLS) makes it an attractive material for optical applications. CLS is a γ -phase La2S3/CaS solid solution above 50:50 La2S3/CaS. Experiments have characterized the effect of composition on the structural, thermal, and optical properties. However, the effect of impurities and other defects, such as porosity, on resulting properties is difficult to deconvolute. We used the density functional theory (DFT) simulations to characterize the effect of La2S3/CaS relative fractions on structural, electronic, mechanical, and vibrational properties of single crystalline CLS solid solutions. We find a decrease in the stiffness with CaS fraction and confirm the experimentally observed increase in the lattice parameter with La2S3 fraction. We also characterized the point defects, including sulfur vacancies, oxygen substituting sulfur, oxygen, and sulfur impurities on lanthanum sublattice vacant sites, and sulfur substituting calcium (vS, OS, OLa, and SLa, respectively). Our defect studies in 90:10 CLS find the neutral charge state configuration to be energetically favorable for all tested configurations except for the sulfur vacancies (vS). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
