electronic or total dielectric constant ?

Post by mohua » Thu Jul 01, 2010 5:55 pm

Hi all,

I have a question about the linear response function tutorial 1. I want to know if the dielectric constant calculated here is the total dielectric constant i.e., includes electronic as well as lattice contributions or if it is just the electronic part of the dielectric constant.
Thanks for your time,
Mohua
