One therefore refers to such a calculation as an OPW calculation . In this context ,
however , such a designation is little more than a reminder that although the
analysis is formally identical to nearly free electron theory , it can be placed on a
...

However , the calculation has been done “ 2 and the value of ng deduced from
the low - frequency conductivity is found to agree with that deduced from the
calculation of the Meissner effect . The calculation is unfortunately quite formal ,
