Abstract
Detailed ab initio studies on the electronic structure and optical properties of the heavyβmetal azides have been performed using density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation. An analysis of band structure, density of states, charge transfer, and bond order shows that the heavyβmetal azides are ionic compounds but have covalent character. The valence bands of AgN~3~ and CuN~3~ are strongly dominated by Agβ and Cuβd, respectively, but that of TlN~3~ arises from the contributions of Tlβs and terminal Nβp and not from Tlβd. The real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function, adsorption coefficient, and electron energyβloss spectra are calculated and compared with available experimental data.
