Title: How to examine the optical spectra
Post by: Sumit2506 on March 1, 2014, 14:01

In the optical spectra of the (5,5) CNT i am getting the three curves corresponding to 3 different diagonal component of the Exx, Eyy and Ezz, which one is significant, or how to calculate dielectric constant from these curves.




Thanks

The significant component depends on the tube axis chosen in your calculations. For example, if you choose the tube axis along the x direction,  the significant component will be the Exx.

For the second question, please refer to the manual: http://www.quantumwise.com/documents/manuals/latest/ReferenceManual/index.html/ref.opticalspectrum.html.
