摘要: The systematic trends of electrionic structure and optical properties of rutile (P42/mnm) RuO2 have been calculated by using the plane-wave norm-conserving pseudopotential density functional theory (DFT) method within the generalised gradient approximation (GGA) for the exchange—correlation potential. The obtained equilibrium structure parameters are in excellent agreement with the experimental data. The calculated bulk modulus and elastic constants are also in good agreement with the experimental data and available theoretical calculations. Analysis based on electronic structure and pseudogap reveals that the bonding nature in RuO2 is a combination of covalent, ionic and metallic bonds. Based on a Kramers—Kronig analysis of the reflectivity, we have obtained the spectral dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the complex dielectric constant (ε1 and ε2 , respectively) and the refractive index (n); and comparisons have shown that the theoretical results agree well with the experimental data as well. Meanwhile, we have also calculated the absorption coefficient, reflectivity index, electron energy loss function of RuO2 for radiation up to 30 eV. As a result, the predicted reflectivity index is in good agreement with the experimental data at low energies.

Analysis based on electronic structure and pseudogap reveals that the bonding nature in RuO2 is a combination of covalent, ionic and metallic bonds. Based on a Kramers—Kronig analysis of the reflectivity, we have obtained the spectral dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the complex dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$and $\varepsilon$2, respectively) and the refractive index (n); and comparisons have shown that the theoretical results agree well with the experimental data as well. Meanwhile, we have also calculated the absorption coefficient, reflectivity index, electron energy loss function of RuO2 for radiation up to 30 eV. As a result, the predicted reflectivity index is in good agreement with the experimental data at low energies.
