          Abstract

          En este trabajo hemos investigado teóricamente las propiedades electrónicas y ópticas del óxido de niobio Nb2O5 para una de sus fases cristalinas, a saber la fase B. Usamos la Teoría de los Funcionales de la Densidad junto con la Aproximación del Gradiente Generalizado con uno de sus nuevos funcionales diseñado para sólidos: PBEsol. La banda prohibida calculada es indirecta (Eg = 2,54 eV), con el máximo de la banda de valencia localizado en Γ y el mínimo de la banda de conducción en (1/3, 1/3, 1/3). También calculamos la parte real e imaginaria del tensor dieléctrico, el índice de refracción, la reflectividad, la transmitancia y la parte real de la conductividad óptica. El valor calculado del índice de refracción es 2,52, que está en buena correspondencia con el valor experimental de 2,64.

          In this work we have investigated theoretically the electronic and optical properties of niobium-oxide Nb2O5 for one of its crystalline phases, namely the B-phase. We have used Density Functional Theory along with the Generalized Gradient Approximation with one of its new modified functional targeted for solids: PBEsol. The calculated band gap is indirect (Eg = 2,54 eV), with the valence band maximum located at Γ and the conduction band minimum located at 1/3, 1/3, 1/3). We present also the calculated real and imaginary part of the dielectric tensor, the index of refraction, the reflectivity, the transmittance and the real part of the optical conductivity. The calculated value of the index of refraction is 2,52, which is in good agreement with the experimental value of 2,64.
