We discuss analysis of the dielectric function tensor for monoclinic metal oxides. We derive the dispersions of transverse, longitudinal and plasmon coupled modes in gallium oxide [M. Schubert et al., Phys. Rev. B 93, 125209 (1-18) (2016); Editors’ Suggestion], the Lyddane-Sachs-Teller relation for monoclinic and triclinic semiconductors [M. Schubert, Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 215502 (2016)], the identification of transverse and longitudinal phonons in scintillator material cadmium tungstate [A. Mock, M. Schubert et al., Phys. Rev. B 95, 165202 (1-15) (2017)], the band-to-band transitions and excitons and their eigenvectors in gallia [A. Mock, M. Schubert et al., Phys. Rev. B 96, 245205 (1-12) (2017)], the effective electron mass tensor measurement using the optical Hall effect in gallium oxide [S. Knight, A. Mock, M. Schubert et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 112, 012103 (2018); Editors’ Pick], the temperature dependence of band-to-band transitions energies in gallium oxide [A. Mock, M. Schubert et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 112, 041905 (2018)], and the dielectric and inverse dielectric tensor analysis method for transverse and longitudinal phonon mode dispersion characterization in high-power laser material yttrium silicon oxide [A. Mock, M. Schubert et al., Phys. Rev. B, 97 165203 (1-17) (2018)].
