Title: Dielectric constant
Post by: abhishek77492652 on November 8, 2017, 13:27

Hello sir,
I have calculated the dielectric constant of a material, but in many papers they are showing only the imaginary part of it. Some papers shows only the real part . Can you please tell me which part should be shown (which part is significant to show) ?

It depends on your research problem,  and only you is to decide on that. You may consult a textbook on Solid State Physics to learn about dielectric function, or google this information.
