Re: [SIESTA-L] Optical theory

Hi Julie, For solids: There is a paper by Ambrosch-Draxl on calculating the optical properties of solids (In the FP-LAPW basis). The third and fourth pages are relevant though: C. Ambrosh-Draxl, J O. Sofo, Linear optical properties of solids within the... Comp. Phys. Comm. 175 (2006) pg 1-16

[SIESTA-L] Optical theory

Hello all, Is it possible to introduce a more detailed refrence for the optical calculations in Siesta? Pls do not address me to known solid states books. I want to know what approaches siesta uses. Regards, Julie Smart Caltech University www.caltech.edu
