RII_Pandas User’s Guide

RII_Pandas

RII_Pandas is Python 3 + Pandas wrapper for the refractiveindex.info database developed by Mikhail Polyanskiy. It provides Pandas DataFrames for the catalog and experimental data stored in refractiveindex.info database based on the method of ‘dboperations.py’ from refractiveindex.info-sqlite package developed by Hugo Guillén. This package will make it easy to access dielectric properties of various materials in a Python framework.

Features

Create Pandas DataFrame by parsing database files cloned from Polyanskiy’s GitHub repository. Drude-Lorentz model (formula 21) and Brendel-Bormann model (formula 22) are availableto describe metallic dielectric function.
