Tauc–Lorentz model, a Common card
The Tauc–Lorentz model is a mathematical formula for the frequency dependence of the complex-valued relative permittivity, sometimes referred to as the dielectric function.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The model has been used to fit the complex refractive index of amorphous semiconductor materials at frequencies greater than their optical band gap.
- The dispersion relation bears the names of Jan Tauc and Hendrik Lorentz, whose previous works were combined by G. E. Jellison and F. A. Modine to create the model.
- The model was inspired, in part, by shortcomings of the Forouhi–Bloomer model, which is aphysical due to its incorrect asymptotic behavior and non-Hermitian character.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Tauc–Lorentz model article was read about 4,900 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 53 and blocks with 21: each hit it takes is cut by 8 %.
How to get Tauc–Lorentz model
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
