JDOS and optical transition

[ams_nanolab]

Is it possible to compute the joint density of states (JDOS) in low-dimensional systems such as 2D slabs, 1D nanowires in ATK?

In fact it would be very helpful to have a python script for such calculation (from the optical spectra).

Also is there any way of knowing the K points involved in optical transitions in such systems from DOS/ PDOS data?

Unfortunately there is no build in analysis to calculate JointDOS in VNL/ATK.
As you suggest you will need a script for that.
You can follow the hints provided here: http://quantumwise.com/forum/index.php?topic=3418.msg15627#msg15627
