Computational Methods for Electromagnetic Phenomena : Electrostatics in Solvation, Scattering, and Electron Transport

A unique and comprehensive graduate text and reference on numerical methods for electromagnetic phenomena, from atomistic to continuum scales, in biology, optical-to-micro waves, photonics, nanoelectronics and plasmas. The state-of-the-art numerical methods described include: Statistical fluctuation formulae for the dielectric constant Particle-Mesh-Ewald, Fast-Multipole-Method and image-based reaction field method for long-range interactions High-order singular/hypersingular (Nystrm collocation/Galerkin) boundary and volume integral methods in layered media for Poisson-Boltzmann electrostatics, electromagnetic wave scattering and electron density waves in quantum dots Absorbing and UPML boundary conditions High-order hierarchical Ndlec edge elements High-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) and Yee finite difference time-domain methods Finite element and plane wave frequency-domain methods for periodic structures Generalized DG beam propagation method for optical waveguides NEGF(Non-equilibrium Green's function) and Wigner kinetic methods for quantum transport High-order WENO and Godunov and central schemes for hydrodynamic transport Vlasov-Fokker-Planck and PIC and constrained MHD transport in plasmas
