Sumario:Wehaveinvestigatedthephysicalpropertiesofthecadmiumhydroxidepolymorph γ-Cd(OH)2 using density-functional theory(DFT)consideringboththelocaldensityandgeneralizedgradientapproxima- tions, LDAandGGA,respectively.Theelectronicbandstructure,theelectronicdensityofstates,the dielectric functionandtheopticalabsorptionarecalculated.Acomparisonrevealsgoodagreementof the calculatedlatticeparameterswithexperimentalresults.Adirectbandgap EðΓ-ΓÞ ¼ 1:70 eV (1.53eV)wasobtainedwithintheGGA(LDA)levelofcalculation.Thevibrationalnormalmodesaswell as the Raman and infrared spectraof γ-Cd(OH)2 were obtained and assigned.
