Abstrakt: Multiconfigurational theory, in combination with the embedded cluster approach, is a precise and ab initio approach to describe the electronic structure of solids. In this work, the spectrum of a Ce(III) dopant in YVO4 has been studied by complete active space perturbation theory of the second order (CASPT2), with the host material represented as a set of ab initio model potentials and point-charges. We assess the sensitivity of the spectrum to the size of both the embedded cluster size as well as the size of the electronic basis set. A comparison of our best computational model with experimental results shows that the embedding approach is robust and can accurately model the spectrum of low-concentration dopants in complex host materials.
