tabulated data of materials #212

Hi Homer,

I wonder if scuff-ldos supports tabulated data for the permittivity. When we used silver.dat, we got the error message, "could not find material silver.dat in any matprop file (aborting).

Thanks,

Xin

Hi

You simply need to add the silver.dat file to your .scuffgeo file. Below an example of a nanoslit array, where the file containing the optical constant is au_ir_olmon_sc.edb.

Best
