I believe at 1 KHz dielectric constant will be almost exactly as
dielectric constant at 0 Hz i.e. the static one.


Firefly calculates only electronic part of polarizability and hyper-
polarizabilities. To compute dielectric constant at such a low
frequency as 1 KHz you need also to know nuclear contributions
to polarizability. It is impossible to compute them using Firefly.
Note, polarizability is a property of micro-objects while dielectric
constant is a macro-property. You need to use some model to deduce
macro property from the micro one.

Kind regards,
Alex Granovsky

>>>Dear Users,
>>>This is the very first time that I have tried finding the dielectric constant using FIREFLY.. I have attached an output file for your reference. I wanted to find the dielectric constant at Frequency=1 KHz. For the same, I have added "1.519835E-13" to the Freq(1) array. I would be really grateful if you all can help me understand HOW to calculate the dielectric constant from the o/p file.
