BaMg1/3Ta2/3O3 (BMT) crystals belong to the family of complex perovskites and are well known for their excellent microwave dielectric properties. In this work, structural optimization of the lattice parameters was performed. Electron density functional theory calculations of the electronic band structure of BMT crystal of the trigonal phase were carried out along Г–A–K–M–L directions of the Brillouin zone. The calculated band gap energy was 3.554 eV. The partial density of states of BMT crystal in P-3 m1 phase was simulated. Top of the valence band was formed by 2p-states of O and bottom of the conduction band – by 5d-states of Ta.
