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,

Daniele

Thank you very much Daniele for the quick reply!
