The structural, electronic and optical properties of six WB2diborides withhP3,hP6,hP12,oP6,hR9 andhR18 structures were systematically investigated using the first-principles calculation based on density functional theory. The optimized atomic coordinates and lattice parameters agree well with the corresponding experimental and theoretical results. All WB2are energetically stable, andhP6-WB2has the best phase stability andhP3-WB2shows the worst phase stability. The results of density of states and the charge density differences indicate that WB2have the strong W–B and B–B covalent bonds. The hardness was obtained from the Mulliken population. The predicted values of absorption coefficientα(ω) and reflectivityR(ω) reveal that the laser with a longer wavelength is recommended during the synthesis of WB2coatings on the substrate surface using the Nd-YAG laser. Finally, the anisotropy in optical properties for WB2was discussed via the polycrystalline and directional static dielectric constantsε1(0) and static refractive indexesn(0).
