Hi, meep users
I want to use meep to simulate nanostructure in gold film. I found the defined dispersive material parameters by some users pasted in the mail archives are different from that in the example material-dispersion.ctl. The parameters defined by meep user contain "delta-epsilon". However, it is "sigma" in material-dispersion.ctl. Does this difference come from the version difference.

Yes, it was just a version difference.  The two are equivalent.

what's the form of epsilon for dispersion material in old version and current version, respectively. Furthermore, who can tell me how to determine the
parameters, omega, gamma,and sigma for gold in meep version 1.0.3 ?

The best parameters really depend on the frequency bandwidth you are interested in. Ideally, you should fit the experimental data with a permittivity parameterized as in Meep in your bandwidth of interest to find the best parameters.

part and imaginary part. who can tell me how to fit the real part and imaginary part at the same time to get a set of A,B1,C1,D1,B2,C2,D2, namely, (epsilon ), (omega ), (gamma ),(sigma ) ? or the better method to get the values of ( epsilon ), (omega ), (gamma ),(sigma ) for gold? or directly tell me the typical values of (epsilon ), (omega ), (gamma ),(sigma ) for gold used in
meep version 1.0.3 ? thank you in advance!

It's a nonlinear fitting problem that you could set up in various ways. For example, you could do a least-square fit where you minimize the integral of the square of the absolute value of the error in the complex permittivity over your desired bandwidth.
