The lattice parameters, bulk modulus, and its pressure derivatives of these compounds have been obtained. The linear photon-energy dependent dielectric functions and some optical properties such as the energy-loss function, the effective number of valance electrons and the effective optical dielectric constant are calculated and presented in the study.EnglishAb initio calculationsElectronic structureOptical propertiesOptical properties and electronic band structure of topological insulators (on A5 2B6 3 compound based)Article10.1080/00150193.2013.8222771563-5112
