Abstract

The dielectric functions of a free electron gas with finite electron lifetime was calculated by K. L. Kliewer and Ronald Fuch. We present here a brief derivation for the separation of the real and imaginary parts of transverse dielectric function at finite electron lifetime for a free electron gas. These functions (real and imaginary parts) can be used for the study of optical properties of nanometals.
