Note publique d'information : This second edition of a well-received book presents new perspectives on modern nanoscale
problems, where fundamental science meets technology and computer modeling. Along
with traditional computational techniques such as finite-difference schemes, finite
element analysis and Ewald summation, the book describes a new finite-difference calculus
of Flexible Local Approximation MEthods (FLAME), which qualitatively improves the
numerical accuracy in a variety of problems. Application areas in the book include
long-range particle interactions in homogeneous and heterogeneous media, electrostatics
of colloidal systems, wave propagation in photonic crystals, photonic band structure,
plasmonic field enhancement, metamaterials, backward waves and negative refraction,
cloaking, focusing beyond the diffraction limit, and transformation optics. The second
edition incorporates new chapters on metamaterials and on the finite difference time
domain method (FDTD), an exposition of absorbing boundary conditions, and Miscellany
- a collection of paradoxical or controversial subjects related to the main topics
of this book. A vast volume of material has been updated, revised or rewritten. Computational
Methods for Nanoscale Applications, Second Edition, is accessible to specialists and
graduate students in diverse areas of nanoscale science and technology, including
physics, engineering, chemistry, and applied mathematics. In addition, several advanced
topics will be of interest to the expert reader.
