R. Delsole et R. Girlanda, OPTICAL-PROPERTIES OF SOLIDS WITHIN THE INDEPENDENT-QUASI-PARTICLE APPROXIMATION - DYNAMICAL EFFECTS, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 54(20), 1996, pp. 14376-14380
The independent-quasiparticle approximation to calculating the optical
properties of solids is extended to account for dynamical effects, na
mely, the energy dependence of the CW self-energy. We use a simple but
realistic model of such energy dependence. We find that the inclusion
of dynamical effects reduces considerably the calculated absorption s
pectrum and makes the agreement with experiment worse.
