[{"abstract":[{"text":"A computational method to obtain optical conductivities from first principles is presented. It exploits a relation between the conductivity and the complex dielectric function, which is constructed from the full electronic band structure within the random-phase approximation. In contrast to the Drude model, no empirical parameters are used. As interband transitions as well as local-field effects are properly included, the calculated spectra are valid over a wide frequency range. As an illustration I present quantitative results for selected simple metals, noble metals, and ferromagnetic transition metals. The implementation is based on the full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave method.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"Theoretical and Computational Nanophotonics: Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop","issue":"1","type":"conference","department":[{"_id":"296"},{"_id":"35"},{"_id":"15"},{"_id":"170"},{"_id":"230"}],"file":[{"relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2020-08-30T15:19:49Z","file_name":"APC000157.pdf","file_size":259756,"access_level":"open_access","title":"Optical conductivity of metals from first principles","file_id":"18635","content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"schindlm","description":"© 2009 American Institute of Physics","date_created":"2020-08-28T22:42:54Z"}],"date_created":"2020-08-28T22:35:13Z","date_updated":"2025-12-16T11:09:27Z","publication_status":"published","intvolume":"      1176","title":"Optical conductivity of metals from first principles","year":"2009","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1551-7616"],"isbn":["978-0-7354-0715-2"],"issn":["0094-243X"]},"author":[{"full_name":"Schindlmayr, Arno","orcid":"0000-0002-4855-071X","last_name":"Schindlmayr","first_name":"Arno","id":"458"}],"doi":"10.1063/1.3253897","series_title":"AIP Conference Proceedings","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","file_date_updated":"2020-08-30T15:19:49Z","citation":{"chicago":"Schindlmayr, Arno. “Optical Conductivity of Metals from First Principles.” In <i>Theoretical and Computational Nanophotonics: Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop</i>, edited by Dmitry N.
