Doping induced phase stabilization and electronic properties of alkaline earth metal doped zirconium (IV) oxide: A first principles study

The role of divalent dopant cations such as Ca and Mg in phase stabilization of ZrO2 has been demonstrated experimentally, with Mg emerging as a crucial dopant ion because of its ability to enhance the photocatalytic properties of ZrO2. To provide a theoretical basis for these experimental observati...
