  1. Metallic Range Stands for the range in which the real part of the dielectric function has negative values, and the monolayer is metallic. E (\(\epsilon _2^{peak}\)) represents the energy in which the imaginary part of the dielectric function has the major peak. Sig. \(\alpha \) Rng. shows the range in which the optical absorption coefficient has significant values (e.g. \(\alpha \ge 10^{7} m^{-1}\)). The mentioned ranges are rounded to the nearest 5 nm for more clarity.
