Optic results

This example shows how to plot the optical properties computed by optic within the independent-particle approximation, no local-field effects and no excitonic effects.

# Optic files have a Structure and an ElectronBands object.

# To plot linear dielectric tensor and other optical
# properties for all tensor components available in the file:
ncfile.plot_linopt(title="Linear dielectric function")

# To plot the second Harmonic tensor
ncfile.plot_shg(title="Second Harmonic Generation")

# Remember to close the file.
