Electronic structure and optical properties of PbI2

Abstract
The electronic structure of the layer compound PbI2 is calculated within the framework of the empirical pseudopotential method. Spin-orbit interactions were necessarily included to explain experimental reflectivity measurements. Using the pseudo-wave-functions, electronic charge densities were computed. They are discussed in terms of the nature of the chemical bonding for PbI2.
