Abstract
The electronic structures of CaWO~4~ crystals with interstitial oxygen atoms are studied within the framework of the fully relativistic selfβconsistent DiracβSlater theory, using a numerically discrete variation (DVβXΞ±) method. It is concluded by the calculation that interstitial oxygen atoms combine with two formal lattice oxygen ions forming oxygen molecular ions, which exhibits donor energy level locating in the forbidden bands. The optical transition energy is 3.85 eV, which correspond to the 324 nm absorption bands. It is predicted that the 324 nm absorption bands originate from the interstitial oxygen in CaWO~4~ crystals.

## Abstract The positions of the interstitial oxygen atoms in PbWO~4~ (PWO) crystal are simulated by computer technologies. It was found that the formation energy of isolated point defects is low when interstitial oxygen atoms exist around the W^6+^ ion. Based on the computed results, the total den
