We consider accurate and iteratively efficient solutions of electromagnetic problems involving homogenized near-zero-index (NZI) bodies using surface-integral-equation formulations in the frequency domain. NZI structures can be practically useful in a plethora of optical applications, as they possess near-zero permittivity and/or permeability values that cannot be found in nature. Hence, numerical simulations are of the utmost importance for rigorous design and analysis of NZI structures. Unfortunately, small values of electromagnetic parameters bring computational challenges in numerical solutions of homogeneous models. Conventional formulations available in the literature encounter stability issues that make them inaccurate and/or inefficient as permittivity and/or permeability approach zero. We propose a novel formulation that involves a well-balanced combination of operators and that can provide both accurate and efficient solutions for all NZI cases. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the superior properties of the developed formulation in comparison to the conventional ones.

A Comparative Study of Surface Integral Equations for Accurate and Efficient Analysis of Plasmonic Structures Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Yilmaz, Akif; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-06-01) Surface integral equations, which are commonly used in electromagnetic simulations, have recently been applied to various plasmonic problems, while there is still no complete agreement on which formulations provide accurate and efficient solutions. In this paper, we present the strong material dependences of the conventional formulations, revealing their contradictory performances for different problems. We further explain the numerical problems in the constructed matrix equations, shedding light on the des...
A Novel Combined Potential-Field Formulation for Densely Discretized Perfectly Conducting Objects Eris, Ozgur; Karaova, Gokhan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2022-01-01) IEEEWe present a novel surface-integral-equation formulation that provides broadband solutions of electromagnetic problems involving perfectly conducting objects. The formulation, namely the combined potential-field formulation (CPFF), is based on a well-balanced combination of the conventional potential integral equations, the magnetic-field integral equation, and an additional potential integral equation involving magnetic vector potential. In addition to being stable for dense discretizations, CPFF is fr...
A new differential formulation of acoustic scattering by rotationally symmetrical penetrable scatterers Günalp, Nilgün; TOSUN, H (1994-07-01) A new differential formulation is presented for acoustic wave scattering from rotationally symmetric penetrable bodies. The numerical implementation of this formulation is fairly simple, and comprises basically the construction of the state-transition matrix of a system of differential equations and the solution of a matrix equation. The validity and the accuracy of the numerical scheme are tested considering objects of known scattering behavior. Other numerical applications are also presented to demonstrat...
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.
Solutions of large-scale electromagnetics problems involving dielectric objects with the parallel multilevel fast multipole algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2011-11-01) Fast and accurate solutions of large-scale electromagnetics problems involving homogeneous dielectric objects are considered. Problems are formulated with the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation and discretized with the Rao-Wilton-Glisson functions. Solutions are performed iteratively by using the multi-level fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). For the solution of large-scale problems discretized with millions of unknowns, MLFMA is parallelized on distributed-memory architectures us...
