For MAX phase, it has the metallic nature can change from metallic to delectric material when the incident light is larger than the bulk plasma frequency of the material. My quesion is that the calculated static dielectric constants for MAX phases are not infinite. while the static dielectric constant should go to infinity for metallic materials. How can I explain this?
MAX phase has the metallic nature, but why is the static dielectric constants (0) not infinity?. In addition, what 's the important meaning of (0) ? Thank you for your reply.
