Description: WPLASMAI sets the complex shift in the Drude term in eV.
Metallic systems show a characteristic peak at $\omega=0$ in the imaginary dielectric function, which originates from intraband transitions. When WPLASMAI>0 in the calculation of the dielectric function with LOPTICS, these intraband transitions are accounted for via the Drude term:
\begin{equation} \varepsilon(\omega)=1-\frac{\omega_p^2}{\omega(\omega+i \gamma)}. \end{equation}
The complex shift $\gamma$ introduces a Lorentzian broadening of the Drude peak which serves to account for scattering effects due to phonons, impurities, and electron-electron interactions. If WPLASMAI>0, the Drude term is introduced in both the density-density and current-current response functions.
