Abstract

Main task of this research paper is to investigate the optical properties (including dielectric function, refractive index, extinction coefficient, loss function, absorption coefficient, and conductivity) of transition metal diborides MB₂ (M = Ti, Nb, Zr) as a function of photon energy in [100] direction. Theoretical and experimental data are compared with each other for the better understanding of this research work.

Keywords: First principle study, optical properties, transition metal, diborides
