Popis: The electronic structure of beta-Na0.33V2O5 has been evaluated using the first-principle density functional theory approach. All energy bands near the Fermi surface (FS) disperse principally along the b-axis direction indicating the quasi-one-dimensionality of this system. The theoretical simulation of the optical property yields reasonable explanations for the notable features revealed in the measurements of the optical spectroscopy. Superconductivity appearing under a pressure of 8 GPa has been discussed in connection with the pressure-induced structural and bands alternations. It is suggested that the strong interchain coupling could play a key role in the appearance of superconductivity. The electron correlation effects on the electronic structure have also been calculated and discussed in comparison with photoemission data. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
