I want to simulate the scattering through nanodisc of gold for that i have to assigned the refractive index of gold as a function of wavelength.
How can we assign it in COMSOL 5.1 ?

Hi Jalpa, you can use the new Optical material library which was added in V5.1. Simply go to Add Material>Optical>Inorganic Materials>Au (...). There are several different entries for gold. All entries have the real and imaginary part of the refractive index as a function of wavelength.
The Optical material library requires either the Ray Optics Module or Wave Optics Module.

Hi Daniel,
I think you can help me for which I am struggling for so long.
I am simulating a gold antenna in RF time domain. My operating frequency is 100 THz or above. In this case, the permittivity (frequency-dependent) of the gold antenna becomes complex valued.
The complex valued permittivity of gold at THz regime,
eps=-eps_real+eps_imag
My problem is how can I define negative real permittivity in time domain ? If I put negative real number in the permittivity then this gives be unrealistic results.
I would like to know what is the approach to define negative complex valued permittivity of metals (gold, copper) in Comsol TIME DOMAIN Module.
Please kindly let me know or refer me to some other resources which can be helpful to implement in Comsol.
Thanks,
Rishad
