Ab Initio Study of Structural and Optical Properties of SrTi0.5Nb0.5O3

Article Preview

Abstract:

The electronic structure, including band structure, density of states ( DOS) and optical properties of SrTi0.5Nb0.5O3 are calculated from the first principles of plane wave ultra soft pseudo potential technology. The calculated results reveal that due to the electron doping, the Fermi level moves into the conduction bands and the system shows metallic behavior. The optical properties are also discussed in detail.
