We premeditated the structural, photoelectric and optical properties of the LaxSc1-xSb having three of something alloy with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 by utilizing the first-principles full potential uninterrupted muffin-container orbital (FPLMTO) pattern based on the generalized slope approximation (GGA96). The trellis constants, bulk modulus, photoelectric band structure, mass of states, and optical possessions such as dielectric function, refractive index, and extinction cooperative for (x=0.25, 0.5, and 0.75) are calculated and examined. Our results are in good agreement with possible data in the article. It is observed that for x=0.75, the compound is from the direct band gap materials nearly zero ‘tween M and Γ direction. It has been establish that the La0.75Sc0.25Sb system is no doubt a semiconductor despite that two together binary (LaSb) and (ScSb) are metals in the rocksalt phase. The bulk of states calculations signifies that the lower part of the conduction b and is completely occupied by Sc-3d and La-4f states and the superior part of the broadcast band is occupied by the La-5d state while the lower unspecified the valence band is governed by the Sb-5p state.
