 # Lindhard function
 
+The **Lindhard function** describes the response of an electron gas
+to an external perturbation,

+alternative to the [Drude model](/know/concept/drude-model/).

 We start from the [Kubo formula](/know/concept/kubo-formula/)
 for the electron density operator $\hat{n}$,
 which describes the change in $\expval{\hat{n}}$
