We have conducted a comprehensive study on the optical and structural properties of NiWO4 through experiments and density functional theory calculations. We have accurately determined the pressure effect on the crystal structure and the band gap. We have also identified the sub-band-gap optical spectrum and resolved the controversial assignment of crystal-field transitions. Moreover, resistivity and Hall-effect measurements have revealed that NiWO4 is a p-type semiconductor with decreasing resistivity under pressure.
We report an extensivestudy of the optical and structural propertiesof NiWO4 combining experiments and density functional theorycalculations. We have obtained accurate information on the pressureeffect on the crystal structure determining the equation of stateand compressibility tensor. We have also determined the pressure dependenceof the band gap finding that it decreases under compression becauseof the contribution of Ni 3d states to the top ofthe valence band. We report on the sub-band-gap optical spectrum ofNiWO(4) showing that the five bands observed at 0.95, 1.48,1.70, 2.40, and 2.70 eV correspond to crystal-field transitions withinthe 3d (8) (t (2g) (6) e (g) (2)) configurationof Ni2+. Their assignment, which remained controversialuntil now, has been resolved mainly by their pressure shifts. In additionto the transition energies, their pressure derivatives are differentin each band, allowing a clear band assignment. To conclude, we reportresistivity and Hall-effect measurements showing that NiWO4 is a p-type semiconductor with a resistivity thatdecreases as pressure increases.
