Complex Frequency And SuperConductivity

Consider this, from the post "Where Damping Is Light",

ω2a=2ξ2ω2oTo1

ω2aω2o=2ξ2To1

Since,  ω2o=Toω2a,    To=ω2oω2a

ω2aω2o=2ξ2ω2oω2a1

1ω2aω2o=2ξ2

ξ=12(1ω2aω2o)

If is it possible to adjust the damping ratio by changing the ratio of the frequency of the driving function and the system nature frequency  (ie.  incur loss by purposely not driving the system at resonance),

 ξ=1    when

ω2a=ω2o

when either  ωo  or  ωa  is complex.

When  ξ=1, the electron constantly get pushed up the kink into the conduction band without returning.  The material then become very conductive.

But is complex frequency possible?
