[Wien] Optical properties of half-metals

Dear All,    Is it possible to calculate optical properties of spin-up and spin-down electrons half-metals such as Heuslers, separately using WIENk? For example,  refractive index of spin-up channel and spin-down channel plotted separately?  Rashid___

Re: [Wien] Optical properties of half-metals

Sure. That's what you normally do as long as you don't include SO interaction. ... x optic -c -up x joint -up x kram -up And then you get case.epsilonup Repeat the same with switches -dn and get case.epsilondn These two (permittivities) have to be added up to get what you measure e.g. by

 Dear Prof. Karel, Thank you very much for the reply and help!  I have done the same calculations as you suggested, but when I try to plot them in xmgrace separately for spin-up and spin-down channel I fail to get the two separate independent plots. Although the same can

Dear Peter and Karel,Thank you so much for explanations. I have actually now done it for half-Heusler alloy RuMnP. I am attaching my plots for reference. Best Regards  Rashid RuMnPOpticalProperties-eps-converted-to.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document RuMnAsOptimizatnN-eps-converted-to.pdf Desc
