Abstract
Using Ashcroft's potential, a calculation of the interband contribution to ϵ 2(ω) for aluminium is made. The large peak near 1.6 eV can be understood by examination of an appropriate reflection plane in the Brillouin zone. In addition, another peak should exist near 0.5 eV. The optical effective mass is computed to be 1.45 m 0.
