Calculate the relative complex permittivity of various common metals over all possible optical wavelengths using the Brendel-Bormann method as cited by A.D. Rakic, et. al., App. Opt., vol. 37, no. 22, 1998.

Supported metals:
- Silver (Ag)
- Gold (Au)
- Copper (Cu)
- Aluminum (Al)
- Beryllium (Be)
- Chromium (Cr)
- Nickel (Ni)
- Palladium (Pd)
- Platinum (Pt)
- Titanium (Ti)
- Tungsten (W)

Requires the complex error function matlab file 'cef.m' (included) in order to run, originally coded by A. Weideman, and available for direct download here: http://dip.sun.ac.za/~weideman/research/cef.html

This file must be left in the same directory as the parent file 'eps_BB.m'.
