Abstract :The calculated results for the structural optimization, electronic band structure, total density of states and optical properties of rhombohedral NaCaF 3 compound were discussed using generalized gradient approximation under the density functional theory. According to our calculation, NaCaF 3 crystal has a direct band transition. Moreover, optical properties of NaCaF 3 were investigated using scissor approximation. For the first time, theoretical study of rhombohedral NaCaF 3 crystal has been investigated.Keywords : Density functional theory, Electronic band structur, Optical properties
