Debugging Synowicki 2004 IR Scripts
IR functions of the Synowicki scripts break down at the KK transform of the absorption spectra -- both using the Maclaurin integration and using a double FFT transform (with both KK integrations giving correct results for the UV spectra).
MgO doesn't have any issues beacause the Lorentz oscillator has a analytic transform.

Dashed data is digitized from the plots. Solid is maclaurin integration, dotted is FFT transform.
The IR results (at least for ZrO2) do not agree with the UV calculations. The UV calculations, on the other hand, seem to be accurate: in addition to matching the graphical data from the paper, they also agree with data from a different source.
