Dielectric Constant
« on: April 5, 2018, 15:25 »
Hello everyone,
I have calculated the dielectric constant of a material, but I did not find the unit of the dielectric constant. I could not able to calculate the excitonic binding energy as this unit is not known to me.

It is the relative permittivity that is outputted in QuantumATK, i.e., it is the dielectric constant in units of vacuum permittivity, ε0 = 8.854187817 x 10^{−12} F⋅m^{−1} (farads per metre), see  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_permittivity and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_permittivity.
