Constant refractive index

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

For those who prefer to think of refractive indices when dealing with optical constants here is a constant refractive index susceptibility. It has just a constant real value the square of which is the real part of the susceptibility. The imaginary part is zero.

 

Note the remark about the combination of a constant refractive index susceptibility with interband transition models given below in the section about KKR susceptibilities.
