Abstract

The anti-cotunnite magnesium silicide was constructed, and its absorption coefficient, dielectric function and loss function have been investigated through the plane-wave pseudo- potential calculations based on the density functional theory. In our scheme, we consider the Mg2Si crystal without defects or cracks. Significant features have been observed for the optical properties in the low-energy region and the high-energy region. The main focus of this paper is to determine the high-pressure optical properties of Mg2Si and find out if this material can be used as high-performance thermoelectric devices.
