First Principle Calculation of Electronic Band Structure and Optical Properties of Kio3
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2009) Akkus, Harun; Erding, Bahattin
The electronic band structure and optical properties of the ferroelectric single crystal KIO3 have been investigated using the density functional methods. The calculated band structure for KIO3 evidences that the crystal has a direct band gap with a value of 2.83 eV. The structural optimization has been performed. The real and imaginary parts of dielectric function, energy-loss function for volume and surface, and refractive index are calculated along the crystallographic axes.
