Dear Karel and Hamrle,

Thank you for your reply.

I have followed the steps already you have mentioned. I used switch 6 and
obtained the plasma frequency. Then used it in case.inkram as my system is
a metal.  Then again I used switch 4 in case.injoint file and did the
calculations before proceeding for x kram -up. My question is as follows:

(1)When I proceed with x joint -up (with switch 4 in case.injoint) , the
case.outputjointup file coming as follows

#  Energy  [eV]     Im_eps_xx          Im_eps_zz

Why there is no column for xy component when my case.symmatup has all the
three components? How to calculate epsilon or absorptivity in xy direction
also?

Best Regards,
Lokanath
