Hi

i calculated plasma and collision frequencies complex values (2.284e+15 - 4.74e+12i,  5.34e+12 + 1.83e+15i using curve fitting the drude equation with refractive index dataset(n&k)

But while creating matetial i can't input imaginary part of these parameters since software can take only real values. I want to know the impact of ignoring imaginary values as plasma and collision frequency controls the real and imaginary part of permittivity.

thanks
