Figure 3
(a) A plot of the refractive index \(n\) (red) and extinction coefficient \(k\) (blue) of Sm derived from ELF by the RMC analysis. Optical experimental data22 (dots and squares for \(n\) and \(k\), respectively) are shown for a comparison; (b) A plot of real part \(\varepsilon_{1}\) (red) and imaginary part \(\varepsilon_{2}\) (blue) of the complex dielectric function of Sm derived by the RMC method. Data given in Ref.22 (dots and squares for \(\varepsilon_{1}\) and \(\varepsilon_{2}\), respectively) are shown for a comparison.
