Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This study aims to determine the effect of Mg-vacancy (MgFeO), Fe-vacancy (MgFeO), and O-vacancy (MgFeO) on the geometric and electronic structure and physical properties of the normal spinel MgFeO (MgFeO) via density functional theory (DFT). The bandgap of the MgFeO was computed using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) + Hubbard (U) approach with (RPBE, PBE, PW91, PBESOL, WC) and (LDA/CA-PZ) and compared with the experimental values. The GGA/RPBE + U method was determined to yield the best results; therefore, it was selected for the structural and optical property analysis of the normal spinel MgFeO with vacancy defects. In addition, the bandgaps, magnetic moments, and formation energy were examined. Spontaneous formation of the structures with vacancy defects is impossible; however, formation of the O-vacancy was determined to be the most probable, followed by that of the Fe-vacancy and Mg-vacancy under specific conditions. The Fe-vacancy and Mg-vacancy changed the semiconducting character of MgFeO to half-metallic behavior. The optical properties (refractive index, reflectivity, dielectric function, optical conductivity, and loss function) for the studied structure were calculated and discussed.
