intraband calculations in metals
« on: July 18, 2019, 08:35 »
Is there any way to incorporate the intraband Drude-like term in optical spectrum computation?  ATK does it via Kubo-Greenwood formula, where there should be one (-1/w^2) divergence at zero energy for real part of epsilon. I have tested it for all sorts of broadenings for simple metals like Au or Ag. However, the zero energy negative divergence is not produced. Can anybody help?

As far as I can tell this is not included in QuantumATK, but it's a very nice idea that we will look into adding in the future.
