Abstract

Procedures for calculating the optical properties of periodic systems using the empirical tight-binding method are compared. Results of the linear and nonlinear susceptibilities are presented using a recently developed exact formalism [Lew Yan Voon and Ram-Mohan. Phys. Rev. B47, 15500 (1993)].
