Abstract
The RPA dielectric function matrix of KCl is calculated with a model in which the valence band consists of p-states on the Cl atoms and the conduction bands are either (i) a single OPW band or (ii) two OPW bands. Local field effects are approximately included. Results for the diagonal, some off-diagonal elements and the effective charges are presented. The long-range parts of the dynamical matrix are got from the calculations ; the short-range parts are obtained by fitting to the transverse frequencies.
