Abstract

The well-known Method of Moments (MoM) formulation is used for the analysis of several three-dimensional problems comprising left-handed materials, plasmonic nanoparticles, and dielectric objects. The problems are formulated in terms of surface integral equations (SIEs), requiring only the discretization of the material boundary surfaces and interfaces to expand the unknown electric and magnetic equivalent currents. The numerical examples presented demonstrate the versatility and capabilities of the SIE-MoM approach to deal with complex composite bodies involving different kinds of media in the context of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
