Popis: The electronic-energy band structures and total density of states (TDOS) for bulk BaTiO 3 and SrTiO 3 were calculated by the first-principles calculations using density-functional theory and local-density approximation. The calculated band structure of BaTiO 3 and SrTiO 3 show the energy band gaps of 1.81 and 1.92 eV at the Γ point in the Brillouin zone, respectively. The optical properties of the both perovskites in the core-level spectra are investigated by the first principles under scissor approximation. The optical constants like refractive index and extinction coefficient of both BaTiO 3 and SrTiO 3 were derived from the calculated real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function. The calculated spectra were compared with the experimental results for BaTiO 3 , SrTiO 3 in good agreement.
