Abstract: The electronic structure of EuB6 was studied by means of density functional method. The information of energy band structure and density of states were obtained with a higher accuracy. The bonding in EuB6 solid was studied, and the characteristics of its energy band structure and semi-metallic property were clarified based on the analysis of the orbital interaction among atoms. The dielectric function, reflectivity, optical conductivity and energy-loss function spectra were calculated. The results are in good agreement with the experiments, showing the reliability of the electronic structure information obtained by energy band calculations.

Key words: EuB6, Band structure, Dielectric function, Optical conductivity , Energy-loss function
