Abstract
In this paper we study the excitation spectrum of the organic conductor tetrathiafulvalene-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TTF-TCNQ) using finite temperature calculations. The effect of electronelectron interaction is considered within the random phase approximation (RPA). Our results show the temperature dependent plasmon and dipolar mode corresponding qualitatively to the modes obtained previously using zero temperature formalism assigned to the observed excitations at 10 meV and 0.75 eV. These modes have an essential influence on the energy-loss function. The obtained results are in good qualitative agreement with the optical and EELS data of TTF-TCNQ.
