The electronic, optical, and magnetic properties of H(2)Ti(3)O(7) are investigated by first-principles density function theory calculations, and also the modifications of these properties by metal intercalation in H2Ti3O7. It is shown that the band gap of H(2)Ti(3)O(7) may be significantly reduced by Fe or Ni intercalation, and that the intercalated Fe or Ni may form a one-dimensional (1D) channel via overlapping 3d orbitals along the [010] direction in the interlayer region. These overlapping 3d orbitals result in an extended band within the band gap region of H(2)Ti(3)O(7) and below its Fermi level, and this band in turn results in a low effective mass for hole transport along the 1D channel and a large magnetic moment for the Fe or Ni intercalated material.
