Abstract
The electronic structure and optical properties of VO2 and Ag/VO2 were studied via density functional theory (DFT). The calculation results show that the interaction between Ag and O is stronger than that between V and O. There exists not only the covalent bonding but also ionic bonding in Ag–O bond. The band gap of Ag/VO2 is smaller than that of VO2, while the dielectric constant, conductivity, and intensity of optical absorption of Ag/VO2 is larger than those of VO2..
