Using quantum mechanics plane-wave approach based on the density functional theory, the lattice constants of NixAl at different Ni concentrations (x=1, 3) are predicted. Optical properties such as dielectric function, energy loss function and reflectivity are also investigated. Results show that with the increase of Ni constituent, the location of the peak in loss function moves to the lower energy region, but the peak height increases. At 0eV, the reflectivity increases rapidly with the Ni concentration. The reflectivity of NiAl and Ni3Al are pronounced in the UV region (not in the visible light region). The dielectric properties, namely the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function, changed significantly with Ni constituent.
