Beschreibung
This second edition of a well-received book presents new perspectives on modern nanoscale problems, where fundamental science meets technology and computer modeling. Along with traditional computational techniques such as finite-difference schemes, finite element analysis and Ewald summation, the book describes a new finite-difference calculus of Flexible Local Approximation MEthods (FLAME), which qualitatively improves the numerical accuracy in a variety of problems. Application areas in the book include long-range particle interactions in homogeneous and heterogeneous media, electrostatics of colloidal systems, wave propagation in photonic crystals, photonic band structure, plasmonic field enhancement, metamaterials, backward waves and negative refraction, cloaking, focusing beyond the diffraction limit, and transformation optics. The second edition incorporates new chapters on metamaterials and on the finite difference time domain method (FDTD), an exposition of absorbing boundary conditions, and Miscellany – a collection of paradoxical or controversial subjects related to the main topics of this book. A vast volume of material has been updated, revised or rewritten.
Computational Methods for Nanoscale Applications, Second Edition, is accessible to specialists and graduate students in diverse areas of nanoscale science and technology, including physics, engineering, chemistry, and applied mathematics. In addition, several advanced topics will be of interest to the expert reader.

Utilizes a two-tiered style of exposition: intuitive explanation of key principles in the first tier and further technical details in the second Bridges the gap between physics and engineering and computer science Presents the fundamentals of computational methods, electromagnetic theory, colloidal systems and photonic structures together with applications Covers "hot topics" in photonics, plasmonics, and metamaterials Includes full-color illustrations to enhance understanding

“The book is primarily addressed to computational material scientists. The level of intended readers ranges from graduate students, with a solid background in electromagnetism, to experienced researchers … . The style of presentation is lucid and not overloaded with mathematical rigor, which is definitely an advantage, given the intended audience. … The typesetting and editing have been done with care.” (Radosław Szmytkowski, zbMATH 1494.78003, 2022)
