Abstract The electronic structures, dielectric functions, complex refractive index and absorption spectra for the PbWO4(PWO) crystal with and without oxygen vacancy VO2+ have been calculated using the full-potential (linearized) augmented plane-wave (FP-LAPW) + local orbitals (LO) method with the lattice structure optimized. The calculated results indicate that the optical properties of the PWO crystal show anisotropy and its optical symmetry coincides with the lattice structure geometry of the PWO crystal. The calculated absorption spectra indicate that the stoichiometric PWO crystal does not display absorption band in the visible and near-ultraviolet range. However, in this range, the absorption spectra of the PWO crystal containing VO2+ exhibit two peaks at 3.35eV (370nm) and 2.95eV (420nm), respectively. It reveals that the 350nm and 420nm absorption bands are related to the existence of VO2+ in the PWO crystal.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
