 ISOTROPIC AVERAGE ALPHA =             165.20693058430660 A.U.

....DONE WITH POLARIZABILITY....

Is this the electronic polarizability (in Hartrees)?

If yes, then I just should use the Clausius–Mossotti relation to find epsilon (dielectric constant).

Kind Regards,

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.
