Dear Brik What you found is usual and is simply the signature of a high absorption in this high energy region. Indeed, a simple way to understand the negative value of eps1 is to look at the following relation: eps1 = n^2 - k^2 with n the real part and k the imaginary part of the complex

Hi Im working on semiconductor material. I have calculated the real part of dielectric function (epsilon1) as function of energy. For high energy , I found epsilon1 negative ! Please can someone explain me what means this negative values ? I read that any material havig an negative epsilon1 , it
