The refractive index of graphene depends on wavelength, temperature and chemical potential. Please suggest the formulae from which numerical values can be easily calculated or some code for this.
Arvind Sharma
As the wavelength decreases, in general, the real and imaginary parts of the RI increase. 2 empirical equations that model it are the Cauchy and Sellmeier approaches.

Changes with temperature are very small. Why do you believe you'd need to correct for this? What is the application?
There is also a morphology and size dependence of the RI.
