Note that the plotting script at http://www.fzu.cz/~dominecf/eps/data/plot_eps.zip also contains (rather nontrivial) parsers for
1) reading *.b
files from the SCOUT database (at http://www.wtheiss.com/download/scout.zip)
2) reading *.MAT
files from the SOPRA database (at http://sspectra.com/sopra.html)
Hi Filip, you did a great job putting together all the models! And I like how you organized the material and scripts. I think however that such functionality is probably beyond the scope of refractiveindex.info database and the associated website. What I am trying to do is to collect and organize data, rather than analyzing and interpreting it.
Hi, since I set up electromagnetic simulations an optical experiments now and then, I found refractiveindex.info quite useful and I was twice as happy to find out it has an open-source project here on github. So at the first place, thank you a lot for your work.
For FDTD simulations, it is usually necessary to supply the permittivity spectrum in the form of a sum of discrete Lorentzian oscillators. An example from my humble material library is here: https://github.com/FilipDominec/python-meep-utils/blob/master/meep_materials.py
To make sure the models are realistic, I have set up as many sources of permittivity (or at least refractive index) spectra as I could, and compared these on a static web page http://www.fzu.cz/~dominecf/eps/index.html
Do you think such a functionality could be added to refractiveindex.info, so that one could 1) visualize also the permittivity and absorption coefficient, 2) possibly download a table of Lorentz oscillators describing these spectra, where available, 2) and also compare the presented curve with experimental data from multiple sources, as it is on the ~dominecf/eps website?
