Surface integral formulation for 3D simulations of plasmonic and high permittivity nanostructures

Olivier Martin, Andreas Kern

Among the most popular approaches used for simulating plasmonic systems, the discrete dipole approximation suffers from poorly scaling volume discretization and limited near-field accuracy. We demonstrate that transformation to a surface integral formulati ...
