large oscillator strength but small imaginary dielectric function
Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2024 8:31 am
Hi,
I have computed the following spectra, but I'm wondering, specifically for the peak around 1000 nm, how it's possible to have such a large oscillator strength when the absorption coefficient (as given by the imaginary dielectric function) is small as shown. I have some ideas in my mind but am really not sure (does the oscillator strength include IR transitions while the imaginary dielectric function only includes electronic transitions?) - any help or thoughts on this would be really appreciated; also attached are the relevant job files
thanks!
