Abstract
We have investigated the optical properties of beta-FeSi2 experimental ly and theoretically, The measured optical functions were compared wit h those calculated using the local-density-functional theory and the l inear muffin-tin orbital method. The calculated electronic structure i s analyzed using orbital-projected densities of states and the optical functions an interpreted in terms of interband transitions. We find g enerally excellent agreement between theory and experiment. [S0163-182 9(98)00116-7].
