摘要: The electronic structures, optical dielectric functions, elastic properties, and lattice dynamics of Ba2ZnWO6 have been investigated by using the generalized gradient approximation. The density of states and distributions of charge density show that O and Ba tend toward ionic bond, but O and W or Zn display the covalent bond character. The calculated energy band structure shows that Ba2ZnWO6 is a wide indirect band gap semiconductor. The static value 2.28 of the refractive index is attained. The analysis of the elastic properties of Ba2ZnWO6 indicates a rather weak elastic anisotropy. The phonon dispersion is calculated, suggesting no structure instability, which is agreement with the recent low temperature neutron diffraction experiments. The mensurability Cv (phonon heat capacity) as the function of the temperature is also calculated to judge our results for future experiment.
