Optical properties of monoclinic SnI2from relativistic first-principles theory

Abstract: Within the local-density approximation, using the relativistic full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method, the electronic structure is calculated for the anisotropic, layered material SnI 2. The direct interband transitions are calculated using the full electric-dipole matrix elements between the Kohn-Sham eigenvalues in the ground state of the system. The inclusion of spin-orbit coupling was found to change the optical properties of this material considerably. Polarized absorption and reflection spectra … Show more

“…The calculated optical parameters have more spectral structure [38][39][40][41] than what is commonly observed because no fluctuations are included. To facilitate comparison with experimental data, the calculated optical spectra is smoothed by broadening.…”

“…However as is now obvious, not all roots of ε 1 (ω) = 0 give rise to peaks in the electron energy-loss spectrum. Thus, ε 1 (ω) = 0 is a necessary condition for plasma oscillations to occur, but as observed is not a sufficient condition [47].…”

“…The calculated optical spectra yield unbroadened functions, and consequently have more structure than the experimental ones. 44,45,70,71 To facilitate a comparison with the experimental findings, the calculated imaginary part of the dielectric function has been broadened. The exact form of the broadening function is unknown.…”
