The band structure of the fluorite-type δ-Bi2O3 was calculated by the linear LMTO methods in the approximation of overlapping atomic spheres using the basis set of orthogonal orbitals (LMTO-ASA) and by the full-potential LMTO method (LMTO-FP) for two vacancy orientations over a wide range of oxygen concentrations. The calculated parameters of chemical bonds—the binding energy Ebin and the pressure of the electron-nuclear system—show that the most stable compound is that with two vacancies per unit cell, oriented predominantly along the (111) direction. The hybrid Bi−O bonds are weak, and mostly the Bi−Bi bonds are responsible for the structural stabilization of δ-Bi2O3. The mechanism of the formation of a semiconductor gap in the band structure of δ-Bi2O3 is discussed.
