The inclusion of wall loss in electromagnetic finite-difference time-domain thin-slot algorithms

Technical Report Riley, D J ; Turner, C D

Sub-gridding techniques enable finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) electromagnetic codes to model apertures that are much narrower than the spatial resolution of the FDTD mesh. Previous thin-slot methods have assumed that the slot walls are perfectly conducting. As the slot depth-to-width ratio becomes large, interior wall losses for realistic materials can significantly affect the coupling through the slot, and therefore these loss effects should not be neglected. This paper presents two methods for incorporating loss for walls with good, but not perfect conductivity, into the FDTD calculations. The first method modifies an FDTD equation internal to the slot to include a surface-impedancemore »« less

Numerical stability analysis of the pseudo-spectral analytical time-domain PIC algorithm

Journal Article Godfrey, Brendan B., E-mail: brendan.godfrey@ieee.org ; Vay, Jean-Luc ; Haber, Irving - Journal of Computational Physics

The pseudo-spectral analytical time-domain (PSATD) particle-in-cell (PIC) algorithm solves the vacuum Maxwell's equations exactly, has no Courant time-step limit (as conventionally defined), and offers substantial flexibility in plasma and particle beam simulations. It is, however, not free of the usual numerical instabilities, including the numerical Cherenkov instability, when applied to relativistic beam simulations. This paper derives and solves the numerical dispersion relation for the PSATD algorithm and compares the results with corresponding behavior of the more conventional pseudo-spectral time-domain (PSTD) and finite difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithms. In general, PSATD offers superior stability properties over a reasonable range of time steps.more »« less

Time-domain electromagnetic energy in a frequency-dispersive left-handed medium

Journal Article Tiejun, Cui ; Electromagnetics Academy at Zhejiang University, Zhejiang University Yu-Quan, Hangzhou 310027 ; Jinau, Kong ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

From Maxwell's equations and the Poynting theorem, the time-domain electric and magnetic energy densities are generally defined in the frequency-dispersive media based on the conservation of energy. As a consequence, a general definition of electric and magnetic energy is proposed. Comparing with existing formulations of electric and magnetic energy in frequency-dispersive media, the new definition is more reasonable and is valid in any case. Using the new definition and staring from the equation of motion, we have shown rigorously that the total energy density and the individual electric and magnetic energy densities are always positive in a realistic artificial left-handedmore »« less
