How can i solve the Error using erfc- Input must be real and full

The coding are as below.
I got the error at LINE 5 where the erfc is not valid since there is a square root of complex number. But the calculation supposed to be like that, any other ways to write it without getting an error? I really appreciate some help here.
Coding:
y=linspace(0,6,150);
t=1; U=3; Pr=5; w=pi/3; B1=0.8; Gr=4.5; a1=1-Pr; B2=B1/a1; B3=Gr/(a1*B2);
H=1; r=1i*w*t; s1=B1+1i*w; s2=B1-1i*w; z1=1i*B2*Pr; z2=1i*B2*t;
u1=(1/4)*H*exp(imag(r)+y*sqrt(imag(s1))).*erfc(y/(2*sqrt(t))+sqrt(imag(s1))*t)+(1/4)*H*exp(imag(r)-y*sqrt(imag(s1))).*erfc(y/(2*sqrt(t))-sqrt(imag(s1)*t));
u2=(1/4)*H*exp(imag(-r)+y*sqrt(imag(s2))).*erfc(y/(2*sqrt(t))+sqrt(imag(s2))*t)+(1/4)*H*exp(imag(-r)-y*sqrt(imag(s2))).*erfc(y/(2*sqrt(t))-sqrt(imag(s2)*t));
u3=(B3/2)*exp(y*sqrt(B1))*erfc(y/(2*sqrt(t))+sqrt(B1*t))+(B3/2)*exp(-y*sqrt(B1))*erfc(y/(2*sqrt(t))-sqrt(B1*t));
u4=(1/2)*exp(-B2*t+y*sqrt(B1-B2))*erfc(y/(2*sqrt(t))-sqrt((B1-B2)*t))+(1/2)*exp(-B2*t-y*sqrt(B1-B2))*erfc(y/(2*sqrt(t))+sqrt((B1-B2)*t));
u5=B3*erfc(y/2*sqrt(Pr/t));
u6=(B3/2)*exp(-B2+y*imag(z1))*erfc((y/2)*sqrt(Pr/t)+imag(z2))+(B3/2)*exp(-B2-y*imag(z1))*erfc((y/2)*sqrt(Pr/t)-imag(z2));
u=u1+u2-u3+u4+u5-u6;

Hello Siti,
given the symmetry of u1 and u2 in the handwritten equations, it can't be the case that u1 has real argument for erfc and u2 has complex argument for erfc. It appears that they are all complex.

Hello Siti,
Although erfc does not take complex arguments as you know, the kummer U function is available and does take complex argument.
Kummer M and kummer U are partner functions where M is bounded at the origin, and U is not. In Matlab the kummer M function is denoted by hypergoem(a,b,z), and the kummer U function is denoted by kummerU. Matlab syntax is not very consistent here. Anyway, you can use
function y = erfcU(z)
% erfc from kummerU
%
% function y = erfcU(z)
yy = (1/sqrt(pi))*exp(-z.^2).*kummerU(1/2,1/2,z.^2);
a = real(z)>0 | (real(z)==0 & imag(z)>=0); % Re(z)>0, also positive y axis
y = (a.*yy + ~a.*(2-yy));
which works for complex argument.
