[Pw_forum] How to get absorption coefficient

[LEUNG Clarence]

Dear QE users,


Now, I use the turbo_lanczos.x and turbo_spectrum to get the absorption spectrum.


I can get a plot_chi.dat file, as follow:


#Chi is reported as CHI_(i)_(j) \hbar \omega (Ry)  Re(chi) (e^2*a_0^2/Ry) Im(chi) (e^2*a_0^2/Ry)
# S(E) satisfies the sum rule
     chi_1_1=  0.000000000000000E+00  0.189914943334197E+04  0.000000000000000E+00
     chi_2_1=  0.000000000000000E+00  -.949575309581559E+03  0.000000000000000E+00
     chi_3_1=  0.000000000000000E+00  -.843216803071169E-03  0.000000000000000E+00
     chi_1_2=  0.000000000000000E+00  -.949574977107089E+03  0.000000000000000E+00
     chi_2_2=  0.000000000000000E+00  0.189915026381885E+04  0.000000000000000E+00
     chi_3_2=  0.000000000000000E+00  0.110034487599961E-03  0.000000000000000E+00
     chi_1_3=  0.000000000000000E+00  -.838178086194996E-03  0.000000000000000E+00
     chi_2_3=  0.000000000000000E+00  0.109036445082823E-03  0.000000000000000E+00
     chi_3_3=  0.000000000000000E+00  0.153710402502629E+03  0.000000000000000E+00


What is meaning of each row and how can I get the absorption coefficients?


Many thanks.
