Fast multi-particle scattering: a hybrid solver for the Maxwell equations in microstructured materials
arXiv:1104.5293
Abstract
A variety of problems in device and materials design require the rapid forward modeling of Maxwell's equations in complex micro-structured materials. By combining high-order accurate integral equation methods with classical multiple scattering theory, we have created an effective simulation tool for materials consisting of an isotropic background in which are dispersed a large number of micro- or nano-scale metallic or dielectric inclusions.
