The calculated band structure and density of states show that LnVO4 compound is metallic. The total DOS at Fermi level N(EF) were 1.49, 0.95, 1.93 and 4.69 states/eV unit cell, and the bare electronic specific heat coefficient (γ) are 0.26, 0.16, 0.33 and 0.81 mJ/mol-K2 for SmVO4, EuVO4, GdVO4 and DyVO4, respectively. The Fermi surface of EuVO4 compound is composed of one band and SmVO4, GdVO4 and DyVO4 composed of two bands crossing along the γ-A direction of Brillion zone. The bonding features are analyzed by using the electronic charge density contour in the (1 0 1) crystallographic plane. We found that Ln-O and V-O atoms forms a strong covalent. For further insight information about the electronic structure, the optical properties are derived and analyzed. 2014-06-11T14:04:25Z 2014-06-11T14:04:25Z 2013-08 Article International Journal of Electrochemical Science, vol. 8(8), 2013, pages 10396-10423 1452-3981 http://www.electrochemsci.org/list13.htm#issue8 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/35398 en Electrochemical Science Group (ESG)
