Dear Farhad, from what I recall from tinkering the sources, you will probably want to edit the polarizability.cpp. First of all, there already _is_ a model that includes some random fluctuations; it might suit your needs. If not, modifying the code that implements constitutive relations is the best

Dear Fillip, thank you so much for your answer. Actually, briefly , fluctuational electrodynamics indicates that, the electromagnetic wave generated by a surface with finite T>0 of temperature is because of the fluctuation of charges or dipoles inside the material. It studied this phenomenon st

Dear Farhad, I am not an expert nor I have thoroughly read the referred article, but I believe the non-radiative fields should be exactly modelled by MEEP as long as they are a solution of the (source-free) Maxwell equations. You may, for example, define a metallic capacitor and a metallic inductor

Dear all, I would like to model the radiation transfer between two plates separated by nano-gap in which we have to bring near-field radiation effects into account using fluctuational electrodynamics. Does MEEP is capable of solve such problems? or we need to manipulate the source C++ codes to
