Abstract

The Kramers–Kronig relations (KKR) are relations between the real and imaginary part of the dielectric function. They are of a general nature and are based on the properties of a complex, analytical response function f(ω) = f 1(ω) + if 2(ω) fulfilling the following conditions:1 · The poles of f(ω) are below the real axis.
