Abstract

Crystals of the family of tetragonal, non‐centrosymmetric melilites have attracted interest as nonlinear optical, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric materials. This work presents an ab initio study of the optical properties of europium melilite, Eu2MgSi2O7. The study includes the calculation of refractive and absorption spectra, with respect to the density of states of the system. The obtained results demonstrate the correlation between the electronic structure of europium melilite and its optical characteristics.
