Abstract

The rigorous second-order accurate finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) equations at magnetic media interfaces are straightforwardly derived through the discretization of the integral forms of Maxwell´s curl equations on the nonuniform Yee´s lattice and Taylor series extending of continuous field components over finite volumes including the interfaces. It is shown that in order to obtain second-order accuracy, we not only require to construct proper effective magnetic permeabilities in the grids containing the magnetic media interfaces, but also choose nonuniform Yee´s grids available in the vicinity of the interface. Numerical results in a cavity partially filled in magnetic media demonstrate the accuracy of proposed FDTD equations
