Qualitative properties of the electronic band structure of a KCl crystal are used to derive a simple two-parameter model for the correlation function c(q, q') which arises in the theory of lattice dynamics. This function relates the adiabatic deformation of the electronic band structure to the vibration of the ion cores. Expressions for the dynamical matrices are derived. The model is ready for a direct computer evaluation of the phonon frequencies to test its validity.

Using atomic-force microscopy (AFM) and wide-band (0.02–8.5 eV) spectroscopic ellipsometry techniques, we investigated the morphology and optical properties of Cd3As2 films grown by non-reactive RF magnetron sputtering on two types of oriented crystalline substrates (100)p-Si and (001) α-Al2O3. The AFM study revealed the grainy morphology of the films due to island incorporation during the film growth. The complex dielectric function spectra of the annealed Cd3As2/Al2O3 films manifest pronounced interband optical transitions at 1.2 and 3.0 eV, in excellent agreement with the theoretical calculations for the body centered tetragonal Cd3As2 crystal structure. We discovered that due to electronic excitations to the Cd(s) conical bands, the low-energy absorption edge of the annealed Cd3As2 films reveals a linear dependence. We found that for the annealed Cd3As2 films, the Cd(s) conical node may be shifted in energy by about 0.08–0.18 eV above the heavy-flat As(p) valence band, determining the optical gap value. The as-grown Cd3As2 films exhibit the pronounced changes of the electronic band structure due to the doping effect associated with Cd non-stoichiometry, where fine-tuning of the Cd concentration may result in the gapless electronic band structure of Dirac semimetals.

In this study, we have analyzed the electronic band structure and optical properties of AA-stacked bilayer graphene and its 2D analogues and compared the results with single layers. The calculations have been done using Density Functional Theory with Generalized Gradient Approximation as exchange correlation potential as in CASTEP. The study on electronic band structure shows the splitting of valence and conduction bands. A band gap of 0.342eV in graphene and an infinitesimally small gap in other 2D materials are generated. Similar to a single layer, AA-stacked bilayer materials also exhibit excellent optical properties throughout the optical region from infrared to ultraviolet. Optical properties are studied along both parallel (||) and perpendicular ( ) polarization directions. The complex dielectric function (ε) and the complex refractive index (N) are calculated. The calculated values of ε and N enable us to analyze optical absorption, reflectivity, conductivity, and the electron loss function. Inferences from the study of optical properties are presented. In general the optical properties are found to be enhanced compared to its corresponding single layer. The further study brings out greater inferences towards their direct application in the optical industry through a wide range of the optical spectrum.
