units of dielectric response

Post by nemeth » Mon Feb 27, 2012 8:09 am

Dear Forum-members,

I was wondering what are the units of the dielectric response one can find in the YAMBO outputs. Can someone please let me know that?
Thanks:

Karoly

Dear Karoly,
the dielectric function has no dimension as you can argue from Eq.1 in the documentation. Next, the absorption cross section is proportional to its imaginary part.

Cheers,
