Metallic nanostructures now play an important role in many applications. In particular, for the
emerging fields of plasmonics and nanophotonics, the ability to engineer metals on …

At ultra-high fields, the assessment of radiofrequency (RF) safety presents several new
challenges compared to low-field systems. Multi-channel RF transmit coils in combination …

Prior to about 1990, the modeling of electromagnetic engineering systems was primarily
implemented using solution techniques for the sinusoidal steady-state Maxwell's equations …

After providing background material in Chaps. 1 and 2, the following chapters attempt to
explain and apply the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method which is one of the most …

In this study we introduce EMPIRE-PIC, a finite element method particle-in-cell (FEM-PIC)
application developed at Sandia National Laboratories. The code has been developed in …

A new oblique thin wire formalism based on Holland's approach is proposed in the FDTD
method. The principal achievement of this new formalism is to enable us to model a junction …

This text reviews the state of the art of the Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method applied to
the solution of the Maxwell's equations in Time Domain (TD). The work is divided into two …

This paper describes a conformal finite-difference time-domain (CFDTD) software package,
and presents its applications to RF antennas and microstrip circuit components. The …

In this paper, we develop an accurate analytical closed-form model for the frequency
resonance and scattering characteristics of single nanoshells. Nanoshells, dielectric …

Conformal (or body-fitted) electromagnetic particle-in-cell (EM-PIC) numerical solution
schemes are reviewed. Included is a chronological history of relevant particle physics …
