Generalized Thin-Wire Hybrid VFETD/FDTD Schemes for Nanocomposite and Graphene Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

A family of consistent thin-wire representation models blended with a 3-D optimized vector finite-element time-domain/finite-difference time-domain method is developed in this paper for nanomaterial and graphene devices. Based on a tailored set of telegrapher’s equations, the novel technique approximates traveling waves along the radial direction of the wire and minimizes artificial instabilities. Also, through a non-overlapping grid discretization algorithm, the hyperbolic character of Maxwell’s laws is physically preserved. In this way, tilted or circular-loop structures of arbitrary orientation are accurately coupled with the curvilinear algorithm. These attributes are successfully verified via various nanoscale components and finite-sized graphene arrangements.
