We present efficient and accurate frequency-domain analysis of three-dimensional structures involving near-zero-index (NZI) materials with very small permittivity and/or permeability values. Accurate simulations are required to analyze these homogenized models that represent metamaterials with exotic NZI properties, which can be useful in a plethora of applications. When traditional solution methods are directly applied, however, instability and inaccuracy issues arise, making solutions inefficient and inaccurate particularly when electrically large models need to be studied. Identifying that numerical problems are due to unbalanced equations, extremely small/large terms, as well as the traditional low-frequency breakdown, we develop alternative implementations based on novel surface integral equations and broadband multilevel fast multipole algorithm. Numerical examples demonstrate excellent accuracy, stability, and efficiency of the developed solvers for NZI structures.

Rigorous Analysis of Double-Negative Materials with the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2012-02-01) We present rigorous analysis of double-negative materials (DNMs) with surface integral equations and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Accuracy and efficiency of numerical solutions are investigated when DNMs are formulated with two recently developed formulations, i.e., the combined tangential formulation (CTF) and the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (JMCHE). Simulation results on canonical objects are consistent with previous results in the literature on ordin...
Fast and Accurate Analysis of Homogenized Metamaterials With the Surface Integral Equations and the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2011-01-01) Fast and accurate analysis of double-negative materials (DNMs) with the surface integral equations and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is considered. DNMs, which are commonly used as simplified models of metamaterials at resonance frequencies, can be formulated with the surface integral equations. Two recently developed formulations-namely, the combined tangential formulation (CTF) and the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (JMCFIE)-are used to formulate DNMs. Ite...
Full-wave optimization of three-dimensional photonic-crystal structures involving dielectric rods KARAOSMANOGLU, Bariscan; ERAY, Hamza; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2018-07-01) We present rigorous optimization and design of three-dimensional photonic-crystal (PhC) structures involving finite dielectric rods. These types of PhCs are known to be useful in diverse applications, such as imaging, power focusing, filtering, and pattern shaping at optical frequencies. Without resorting to their two-dimensional models, which are commonly used in the literature, we consider PhCs as three-dimensional structures, whose electromagnetic characteristics are optimized via genetic algorithms inte...
On the Accuracy and Efficiency of Surface Formulations in Fast Analysis of Plasmonic Structures via MLFMA Karaosmanoglu, B.; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2016-08-11) We consider the accuracy and efficiency of surface integral equations, when they are used to formulate electromagnetic problems involving plasmonic objects at optical frequencies. Investigations on the iterative solutions of scattering problems with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm show that the conventional formulations, especially the state-of-the-art integral equations, can significantly be inaccurate, in contrast to their performances for ordinary dielectrics. The varying performances of the form...
Novel SIE formulations for accurate and stable analysis of near-zero-index materials KARAOSMANOGLU, BARISCAN; OZMU, UTKU; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2019-07-01) © 2019 IEEE.We present surface-integral-equation formulations for accurate and stable solutions of electromagnetic problems involving near-zero-index materials with arbitrarily small permittivity and/or permeability values. The formulations are developed for conventional discretizations, while they can be implemented by using interaction routines of existing solvers. Initial results on canonical objects clearly demonstrate the superiority of the developed formulations in comparison to the conventional ones.
