Abstract
The results of first principles calculations of band structure, density of states and electron density topology of CdC2O4 and Ag2C2O4 crystals are presented. The calculations have been performed with WIEN2k ab initio program, using highly precise full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP LAPW) method within Density Functional Theory formalism. The obtained SCF electron density has been used in calculations of Bader’s AIM (atoms in molecules) topological properties of the electron density in crystal. The obtained results show important similarities in electronic structure and electron density topology of both compounds and allow supposing, that during the thermal decomposition process these compounds should behave similarly, which is in agreement with the experiment.
