This allowed for displaying both aspects independently or together by summing.
From the function it can be seen that the variables are AC frequency,

, the Fermi energy level,

, the temperature,

These were varied within reasonable ranges in order to investigate how
such variations affect the conductivity, both as a whole and individually.

The two contributions to this complex conductance, intraband and interband,
can be seen individually in figure

caps "false"
noprefix "false"
\end_inset
.
Comparing the two, it can be seen that the interactions happen over largely
separate frequency ranges.
In general, the intraband conductivity can be seen to exist up to the THz
portion of the spectrum while the interband has the majority of it's contributi
ons above the THz range.
The intraband can be seen to dominate the total contribution and is responsible
for the conductance up to the previously mentioned 20 GHz cutoff.
The interband interactions begin after the 10 THz range, initially the
imaginary component sharply drops and relaxes with a minima at 187 THz
and 248 THz for TTF and CoCp
\begin_inset script subscript
\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout
\end_inset
.
As the imaginary component minimises, the real component begins sharply
rising over a 100 THz range to a maximum of 60

\end_inset
.
This continues throughout the hundreds of terahertz range and beyond the
region of interest.

The interband conductance can be seen to show more variation over the prescribed
carrier concentration range.
Low carrier concentrations result in a higher initial imaginary component
that does not descend into negative values.
As concentration increases, the imaginary component decreases more, forming
a sharp trough that also reaches its lowest value at a higher frequency.

From the real component, the pre-cutoff peak can be seen to increase from
224 mS to 253 mS when moving from near-room temperature to the breakdown

Looking to the imaginary component, the peak conductance increases by roughly
15 mS.
More variation occurs at the higher frequency, interband conductivity.
The sharper colour gradient at lower temperatures become more gradual at
higher temperatures, this indicates that the intraband imaginary negative
peak takes place over a more gradual spectral range.

the previously mentioned high frequency behaviour can be seen clearer.
As the temperature increases, the negative imaginary peak gets smaller
in value with a smoother gradient.
For the real component, althought the final value does not change, the
gradient with which it is aproached changes.
At low temperatures, the increase takes place over a tight spectral range
with a sharp step action.
As the temperature increases, the spectral band over which the transition
occurs broadens with a smoother gradient while maintaining the centre frequency
of 200 THz.

Looking to the real component, the scatter lifetime can be seen to affect
both the cutoff frequency and the magnitude of the pre-cutoff value.
As the lifetime increases, the cutoff frequency occurs at a lower value,

The magnitude of the conductance also increases exponentially as the lifetime
is increased.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Considering the imaginary component, a somewhat similar behaviour can be
seen.
The same exponential growth in magnitude can be seen in the 20 GHz peak.
With regards to the spectral behaviour, increasing scatter lifetime reduces
the frequency of the leading peak, broadening the range of the peak.
