Divergence-conforming Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) functions are commonly used in integral-equation formulations to model the surface current distributions on planar triangulations. In this paper, a novel implementation of the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) employing the curl-conforming (n) over tilde x RWG basis and testing functions is introduced for improved current modelling. Implementation details are outlined in the contexts of the method of moments, the fast multipole method, and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm. Based on the examples of electromagnetic modelling of conducting scatterers, it is demonstrated that significant improvement in the accuracy of the MFIE can be obtained by using the curl-conforming (n) over tilde x RWG functions.

Generalized Hybrid Surface Integral Equations for Finite Periodic Perfectly Conducting Objects
Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-01-01)
Hybrid formulations that are based on simultaneous applications of diversely weighted electric-field integral equation (EFIE) and magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) on periodic but finite structures involving perfectly conducting surfaces are presented. Formulations are particularly designed for closed conductors by considering the unit cells of periodic structures as sample problems for optimizing EFIE and MFIE weights in selected regions. Three-region hybrid formulations, which are designed by geneti...
On the accuracy of MFIE and CFIE in the solution of large electromagnetic scattering problems
Ergül, Özgür Salih (null; 2006-11-10)
We present the linear-linear (LL) basis functions to improve the accuracy of the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) and the combined-field integral equation (CFIE) for three-dimensional electromagnetic scattering problems involving large scatterers. MFIE and CFIE with the conventional Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) basis functions are significantly inaccurate even for large and smooth geometries, such as a sphere, compared to the solutions by the electric-field integral equation (EFIE). By using the LL funct...
Improving the accuracy of the MFIE with the choice of basis functions
Ergül, Özgür Salih (2004-06-26)
In the method-of-moments (MOM) and the fast-multipole-method (FMM) solutions of the electromagnetic scattering problems modeled by arbitrary planar triangulations, the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) can be observed to give less accurate results compared to the electric-field integral equation (EFIE), if the current is expanded with the Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) basis functions. The inaccuracy is more evident for problem geometries with sharp edges or tips. This paper shows that the accuracy of the M...
The detailed analysis of wavefunction overlaps for InAs/AlSb/GaSb based N-structure type-II SL pin photodetectors
Hostut, M.; Tansel, T.; Kilic, A.; Akın, Tayfun; Ergun, Y. (2019-07-01)
We report on a detailed analysis of electron and hole wave functions with their overlap integrals for InAs/AlSb/GaSb based N-structure type-II superlattice (T2SL) pin detectors under applied reverse bias. Bandgap energies and superlattice minibands are performed by envelope function approximation using pseudopotential method for input parameters such as effective masses and envelope functions at Gamma point. The layer thickness of detector structure is designed to operate in the long wavelength infrared ran...
The method of lines solution of the discrete ordinates method for radiative heat transfer in enclosures
Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2000-04-01)
A radiation code based on the method of fines (MOL) solution of the discrete ordinates method (DOM) for transient three-dimensional radiative heat transfer in rectangular enclosures for use in conjunction with a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code based on the same approach,vas developed. Assessment of the predictive accuracy of the code by benchmarking its steady-state solutions against exact solutions on one- and three-dimensional test problems shows that the MOL solution of the DOM provides accurate ...
