Abstract

Optical conductivity in Na x CoO 2 is calculated with tight binding approximation. The calculated gross features agree with the experimental findings. Interband transitions between nearly degenerate t 2g bands bring about absorption in the mid-infrared and near infrared regions. Structures observed at higher energies are also quite well reproduced with the present calculation. Possible effects of electron correlation are also briefly discussed.
