Based on this conformation we extended these calculations to the substitutional S2- molecule in the alkali halides, such as NaCl, NaBr, NaI, KCI, KBr, KI, RbCl, RbBr, and RbI. It is found from these calculations that the S2- center aligned to [110] direction is generally favorable over those with the [100] and [111] orientations, in agreement with the experiments. We also found that the vibrational frequencies of the S2- anion in the alkali halides shift to higher energies with decreasing lattice parameters. These results suggest that the change in the bond length of the S2- anion in the matrices depends on the species of halogen atom, while the frequencies are influenced by the species of alkali atom., 金沢大学大学院自然科学研究科計算科学, 金沢大学理学部}, title = {First-principles study on the energetics and vibrational properties of the S2 - impurity in alkali-halide crystals}, volume = {68}, year = {2003} }
