Dear Steven and other users, About the LDOS, Thank for Ardavan Oskooi's help!(https://www.mail- archive.com/meep-discuss@ab-initio.mit.edu/msg05768.html) After reading Ardavan Oskooi's reply, I have some other questions. I will be thanksful if anybody help me. First, if eq. 4.22 in book chapter: http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.5366, does not apply to lossy metals which epsilon is complex (Lorentz-Drude model), now can ( dft-ldos f 0 1) apply to? According to the web http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/ index.php/Meep_Tutorial/Local_density_of_states, LDOS can be calculated directly from the power radiated by a dipole and Fourier-transforming the result of a pulse using the dft-ldos command, which is eq. 4.21 in book chapter: http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.5366. Then,if dft-ldos command can calculate LDOS of lossy metals. My model is a metal disc. Second, why the parameter T in ( run-sources+ T (dft-ldos f 0 1)) command is defined by (define-param T (* 2 Q (/ f))), but not for constant that similar to T or slightly larger than T? Ma Yawei
