A rigorous analysis of nanoantennas using surface integral equations and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is presented. Plasmonic properties of materials at optical frequencies are considered by using the Lorentz-Drude models and employing surface formulations for penetrable objects. The electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation is preferred for fast and accurate solutions, which are further accelerated by an MLFMA implementation that is modified for plasmonic structures. The developed simulation environment is used to investigate popular bowtie structures with different material properties and to analyze interactions between pairs of nanoantennas.

We present a fast and accurate analysis of double-negative materials (DNMs) with surface integral equations and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). DNMs are commonly used as simplified models of metamaterials at resonance frequencies and are suitable to be formulated with surface integral equations. However, realistic metamaterials and their models are usually very large with respect to wavelength and their accurate solutions require fast algorithms, such as MLFMA. We consider iterative solutio...

Composite nanoparticles involving multiple parts with different material properties are analyzed rigorously with surface integral equations and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm. Accuracy and efficiency of the developed parallel implementation are demonstrated on spherical objects with dielectric, perfectly conducting, plasmonic, and double-negative regions. Significant effects of the formulation on numerical solutions are also considered to show the tradeoff between the efficiency and accuracy.

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...
