Excitated State Properties

• The phenomenological theory of optical properties of materials is presented.The general theory of calculations of optical properties from first principlestheory is given, with special emphasis on the implementation in the FP-LMTOmethod. Numerical examples of semi-conductors as well as metals are presented. Interbandand intraband transitions are discussed, as are maneto-optical effects. Thechapter ends with a description of the theory of x-ray magnetic circular dichroism,and how its calculation is made possible in the FP-LMTO method.
