Using the plane-wave ultrasoft pseudopotential technique based on the first-principles density functional theory (DFT), we have studied the structural, electronic, chemical bonding, and optical properties of tetragonal PbMoO 4 . The obtained structural parameters are in good agreement with experiments. Band structure, density of states, and chemical bonding are calculated and shown. It is found that tetragonal PbMoO 4 is an indirect band gap. The dielectric function, refractive index, extinction coefficient, reflectivity, absorption coefficient, loss function, and conductivity function are calculated for radiation up to 20 eV.
