Abstract

We present a first-principles investigation of paramagnetic centers in P2 O5 based on the calculation of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters (g-Tensor and Fermi contacts). Calculations of the EPR parameters for the P1 configuration in crystalline o'(P2 O5) support the previous attribution of the P1 to a P-defect structurally analogous to the Si-{E'} center. As far as concerns the P1 center in glassy P2 O5, the present work suggests the possible occurrence of another configuration besides the analogue of the Si-{E'} center. Such an alternative P1 center configuration is likely to be relevant for those P2 O5 based glasses featuring a considerable fraction of Q1 and Q2 tetrahedral units besides the Q3 unit which dominates the structure of pure P2 O5.
