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 free of internal resonances, and it enables accurate and efficient solutions of large-scale closed conductors using conventional basis and testing functions. Numerical results demonstrate that CPFF clearly outperforms other formulations, including the popular combined-field integral equation, for densely discretized objects comparable to or larger than wavelength.

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...
Penetrable Numerical Modeling of Metallic Nanoparticles at Terahertz Frequencies
İbili, Hande; Karaosmanoglu, B.; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2018-08-04)
Numerical solutions of electromagnetic problems involving nanostructures at terahertz (THz) frequencies are considered. We particularly focus on nanoparticles that are made of typical metals at the lower THz frequencies. Even though the frequency is relatively low, we show that penetrable models are needed for accurately representing electromagnetic characteristics, especially to predict penetrating magnetic fields inside small particles. Due to large permittivity values with negative real parts, stable for...
A novel surface-integral-equation formulation for efficient and accurate electromagnetic analysis of near-zero-index structures
İbili, Hande; Ozmu, Utku; Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2022-03-01)
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, sma...
