Drude Plasmon

Post by rosebob » Tue Nov 24, 2015 7:25 pm

Hi all,
I want to calculate optical properties of a metal structure. There is a warning that guide me to define drude plasmon. I know how to define it as an input but i do not know how to find the proper ev of drude plasmon in the input DrudeW etc.
How should I define energies of Drude Plasmon as a real and imaginary part in ev?
thanks.
yours
Rose.

Dear Rose,
please fill your signature with your affiliation, this is a rule of the forum.
As discussed in this thread:
the real (Drude plasmon peak) and imaginary part (width of the peak) entering in the input have to be
taken from the literature (generally electron energy loss spectra).

Best,
Daniele
