Calculated optical spectra of LaTiO₃ — •O.V. Krasovska ¹, V.N. Antonov ², and W. Schattke ¹ — ¹Institut für Theoretische Physik, Christian-Albrechts-Universität, Leibnizstrasse 15, D-24118 Kiel — ²Institute of Metal Physics National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Vernadskogo 36, 252680, Kiev-142, Ukraine

Optical properties of LaTiO₃ are explained in terms of direct interband transitions. The energy band structure of LaTiO₃ is calculated with the ab initio semi-relativistic extended linear augmented plane wave method (ELAPW). The density-of-states function is compared with XPS and UPS experiments and with previous calculations. Calculated optical spectra for a model cubic crystal yield a very good agreement with measurements in a wide energy region.
