Tidy3D has an extensive material library containing various dispersive models from real world materials. You can import one of several material models using only a single line of code, as below:

from tidy3d import material_library

silver = material_library['Ag']['Rakic1998BB']

The key of the dictionary is the abbreviated material name. Some materials have multiple variant models, in which case the second key is the “variant” name.
