[Wien] Optical properties including spin-orbit

[Chukwuemeka Okoye]

Dear wien users,

 

I am calculating the optical conductivity of bcc iron  and found that the absorptive part is not always positive. This means that a plot of Re_sigma_xx   Re_sigma_yy  Re_sigma_zz  using  file fe.absorpup has a negative part. I think this is strange. This is because the mathematical expression (per spin) for  Re_sigma_xx  etc. makes it impossible for it to be negative.   

 

Thanks.
