oscillator strength
oscillator strength
"Oscillator strength" is a classical quantity corresponding to the probability of an electric dipole transition when an electron in the valence band or in the inner shell is excited to the conduction band. In the classical model, this transition can be considered as oscillations of bound electrons (harmonic oscillator) using the Lorentz model. The oscillator strength is a number of the oscillators, and corresponds to the quantum-mechanical probability of the electric dipole transition.
