75. Calculations are performed for a periodic array of nanotubes with an intertube distance of 14a.u. The absolute value of εM(ω) scales with the dimension of the employed super-cell, but we are interested only in the relative absorption cross section σ(ω) in arbitrary units. The quasi-one-dimensional Brillouin zones of the tube are sampled by 20 irreducible k-points along the tube axis

77. A.G. Marinopoulos, L. Reining, A. Rubio, V. Olevano (to be submitted). We have used up to 16464 k-points for the Brillouin-zone sums, and 121 G-vectors in the matrices. Our results are fully converged with respect to the Brillouin-zone sampling for frequencies above 1 eV. A proper evaluation of the spectra at lower frequencies for this semimetal would require an improved treatment of intraband transitions, and is beyond the scope of the present work
