Abstract
This work presents calculations of the optical absorption spectra of semiconductors and insulators. The background and underlying physics are discussed, and the efficient computational method used is sketched. Results for eight solids are presented and compared to measured spectra, along with computed x-ray absorption spectra near several edges.
