We studied the electronic properties of Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT), BiTiO3 compounds in the framework of density functional theory (DFT), using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method with generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for correlation potential. The result shows that there is a remarkable difference between energy gap of BiTiO3 compound by BNT compound. Energy gap of BiTiO3 and BNT is about 1.9 and 2.6 eV, respectively, which is comparable with experimental results. The space group for our supercell was chosen to be P4bm for tetragonal phase. We have calculated the electron charge density in real space and found the kind of chemical bonds between the different atoms in these two compounds. The result show that kind of bonds are comparable with direct calculation method of chemical bonds. The calculated density states and crystal structure show that there is a stronger hybridization between orbitals of O and Ti in energy of near Fermi energy.
