Abstract:

We have investigated the optical properties of the Fm-3m-Mg2Si using the first-principles plane-wave pseudo-potential method. Some important optical parameters (reflectivity, refractive index, extinction coefficient, loss function and dielectric function) are calculated and investigated at high pressure. The calculated static dielectric constant ε(0) is 15.9. The computed plasma frequency is 12eV. Some interesting features in the optical parameters are found in the low frequency region. Nevertheless, the calculated result needs to be testified by experiments in the near future.
