We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

you have two questions:

1: 2D material with dispersion

2: simulation source

For 2D conductivity material, you can import data. Please refer to Creating new sampled data materials in FDTD it is the same as permittivity/index in terms of data. You can select add/2D sample data in material database.

Modulator usually is based on waveguide. If your THz modulator is a kind of waveguide with the 2D material, you can use mode source or port. Please visit this example: Spatial soliton in a graphene-embedded waveguide
