Materials¶

Material can be added from the predefined list:

Also the complex number can be typed in here.
The option AlloyAuAg correspond to analytical parametrixation for silver-gold alloys [Rioux2014] and requires the specification of Au ratio (\(0 \le x \le 1\)).
Next button will add material from file with refractive index data stored in column format, i.e.:
lambda n k
0.100 2.8883 1.3062
0.101 2.8735 1.2439
0.101 2.8564 1.1856
...
First column – wavelength in nm or mum, second and third – real and imaginary parts of refractive index.
The refractive index data can be plotted to check sanity:

Cross button deletes the selected material.
