Dear Wien2k users, My question is about the validity of KK trasformation, My goal is to use the program x kram to calculate refractive index n from extinction coefficient k.
I tested it but I can not find the same result. 1.first I calculate k and n with the "normal" calculation. # # Lorentzian broadening with gamma= 0.000000 [eV] # Im(epsilon) shifted by 0.0000 [eV] # No intraband contributions added # # Energy [eV] ref_ind_xx extinct_xx # 0.136060 0.751815E+01 0.391540E+00 0.408170 0.102717E+02 0.181928E+01 0.680280 0.231108E+01 0.683176E+01 0.952400 0.307707E+01 0.171773E+01 1.224510 0.326844E+01 0.132376E+01 1.496630 0.840948E+01 0.658562E+01 1.768740 0.323558E+01 0.457868E+01 2.040850 0.187595E+01 0.432633E+01 2.312970 0.135153E+01 0.372669E+01 2.585080 0.105249E+01 0.329286E+01 .......... .................. ............... 13.197530 0.786248E+00 0.202728E-01 now if i calculated case.refraction from imposed case.joint ( Enegry vs k calculated from 1) to found n the result is different from the first calculation, in spite of keeping the same case.inkram. # Lorentzian broadening with gamma= 0.000000 [eV] # Im(epsilon) shifted by 0.0000 [eV] # No intraband contributions added. # # Energy [eV] ref_ind_xx extinct_xx # 0.136060 0.213440E+01 0.917213E-01 0.680280 0.231028E+01 0.147856E+01 1.224510 0.264705E+01 0.250044E+00 1.768740 0.150425E+01 0.152191E+01 2.312970 0.149987E+01 0.124234E+01 2.857200 0.135466E+01 0.108498E+01 3.401420 0.123245E+01 0.962223E+00 3.945650 0.114376E+01 0.859319E+00 4.489880 0.107170E+01 0.772398E+00 5.034110 0.100673E+01 0.693421E+00 5.578340 0.950350E+00 0.616652E+00 6.122560 0.901011E+00 0.540848E+00 6.666790 0.856630E+00 0.465609E+00 7.211020 0.811606E+00 0.384269E+00 7.755250 0.772218E+00 0.285813E+00 8.299480 0.765665E+00 0.167031E+00 8.843700 0.812414E+00 0.855660E-01 9.387930 0.850233E+00 0.524445E-01 9.932160 0.875432E+00 0.366219E-01 10.476390 0.893232E+00 0.279995E-01 11.020620 0.906918E+00 0.218597E-01 11.564840 0.917665E+00 0.178932E-01 12.109070 0.926022E+00 0.149025E-01 12.653300 0.932594E+00 0.125510E-01 where this difference comes from? x kram is adapted for epsilon only? if no, how can i use it to calculate "correct" refractive index from extinction coefficient? should I use another program to do that , if so, which one, please?
