Hy all,
I'm simulating the absorption of a nanowire in vaccum. I started with a 2D model in the RF module. My geometry is a nanowire in vacuum surrounded by cartesian air-PML. I solved the problem for the scattered field. The incident field propagates along the y direction and is either x or z polarized.
I have no problem with the x-polarization, however when I solve the problem for the z-polarized field, the scattered field is not well absorbed by the PML (see fig in attachment) and it does not change if I increase the size of the PML and/or the mesh size.
Can somebody explain why ?
Furthermore, I'm trying to simulate the absorption in the 3D geometry and to reduce the model size, I want to model only a quarter of a nanowire, which boundary condition should be apply ? I found that perfect electric/magnetic BC are not rigorously correct in that case. Is there a way to impose different BCs on each component of the fields on the surface ?
Thanks a lot !
Olivier
