Crystal Local Field Effects
dielectric function in crystals
I recall: ε−1 = 1 + vχ, χ = χ0 + χ0vχ
I RPA: ε = 1− vχ0
I ε is a matrix: ε(q, q′;ω) =(εGG′(qr , ω)
)I energy loss function (EELS, IXS)
S(q, ω) ∝ −={ε−1GG(qr , ω)}, q = qr+G
⇒ mixing of all transitions in χ0
⇒ crystal local field effects (LFE)

Conclusions
graphite
I angular anomaly close to Bragg reflectionsI originates from local field effects (coupling to 1. BZ):
1. spectrum from q → 0 reappears (direction of qr )2. coupling εG0(qr ) enforces anisotropy
other systems
I all systems with strong local field effectse. g. layered systems, 1D structures
⇒ caution with loss experiments close to Bragg reflections
