Preserving high-order accuracy in high-order FDTD solutions across dielectric interfaces is very important for practical time-domain electromagnetic simulations. This paper presents a fourth-order accurate numerical boundary scheme for the planar dielectric interface to be used in the fourth-order FDTD method proposed earlier by the author. The interface scheme for the two-dimensional (2-D) transverse magnetic (TM) polarization case is derived and validated by monitoring the $L_2$ norm errors in the numerical solutions of a partially-filled cavity demonstrating its fourth-order convergence and long-time numerical stability in the presence of the planar dielectric interface.

인쇄회로기판(PCB) 설계시 회로 동작 상 혼신(crosstalk)의 영향도를 예측하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 평행 또는 교차선로 간의 혼선을 FDTD 방볍에 의해 다루었다. 이 모델들은 PCB 선로의 대표적인 형태이며 그 혼선은 전자파 장해(EMI)의 주요 요인이 된다. 혼선의 영향도를 평행선로와 교차선로의 선로 간 간격 및 길이 변화에 따라 계산하였다. 시간 및 주파수 영역에서의 결과가 논의되고 MDS(microwave design system) 및 HFSS(high frequency structure simulator)를 사용한 주파수 영역 결과와 비교된다. 그로부터 FDTD 방볍이 해석 모델에 있어 적용범위가 넓고 계산 시간을 줄일 수 있음을 보인다.

In this paper, a new and simple method is proposed to quickly estimate the induced electric field in the human child exposed to a 100 kHz-10 MHz magnetic field, for the sake of electromagnetic field (EMF) safety assessment. The quasi-static finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is used to calculate the induced electric fields in high resolution 3D human child models with various body size parameters, in order to derive the correction factor for the estimation equation. The calculations are repeated for various frequencies and incident angles of the magnetic field. Based on these calculation results, a new and simple estimation equation for the 99th percentile value of the body electric field is derived that depends on the body size parameters, and the incident magnetic field. The estimation errors were equal to or less than 5.1%, for all cases considered.

Most of agricultural structures located in seashore could not avoid rapid deterioration of concrete because chloride-ion and $CO_2$ gradually penetrate into concrete. However, since most of models can be able to describe the phenomenon of penetration by using one or two dimensional models based on finite difference method (FDM), those modes can not simulate the real geometry and it takes a lot of computational time to complete even the calculation. To overcome those weaknesses, three dimensional numerical model considering time dependent variables such as surface concentration of chloride and diffusion coefficient of domain based on finite element method (FEM) was suggested. This model also included the neutralization occurred by the penetration of $CO_2$. Because the model used various sizes of tetrahedral mesh instead of equivalent rectangular mesh, it reduced the computational time to compare with FDM. As this model is based on FEM, it will be easily extended to execute multi-physics simulation including water evaporation and temperature change of concrete.

도심지에는 많은 지중 매설관이 설치되어 있으며, 이러한 지중 관로의 위치(깊이, 방향 등)은 굴착을 수행하기 전에 특정되어야 한다. 지중 매설관을 탐지하기 위해 다양한 지구물리학적인 방법을 사용할 수 있으나, 지반의 불균질성으로 인해 정확한 위치정보를 파악하는 것은 어렵다. 다양한 비파괴 탐사 방법 중 GPR (ground penetrating radar)는 고속으로 실험이 가능하며, 다른 탐사 방법에 비해 상대적으로 저렴한 탐사비용 등의 장점을 갖는다. 그러나 GPR의 탐사 데이터는 해석이 직관적이지 않아 상당한 전문적 지식이 요구된다. 최근 딥러닝을 이용한 탐사 데이터의 자동판독 기술에 대한 연구가 증가하고 있으나, 매설물의 위치를 정확히 알고 있는 탐사 데이터가 부족하여 학습모델 구축에 어려움이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 FDTD (finite difference time domain)수치해석을 통해 해결하고 자동탐지 학습 모델의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 기초연구를 수행하였다. 첫째, 단일유전율로 구성된 균질지반을 구성하고 해석을 수행하였다. 불균질 지반의 경우 프랙탈 기법을 이용하여 모델을 구성하고 해석을 수행하였다. 둘째, 합성곱 신경망을 이용하여 딥러닝 학습을 수행하였다. Model-A는 균질 지반 해석 데이터만 이용하여 학습을 수행하였으며, Model-B는 균질 및 불균질 지반 해석 데이터를 이용하여 학습을 수행하였다. 그 결과 Model-B가 Model-A보다 탐지성능이 우수한 것을 확인하였다. 이는 자동탐지 모델의 학습 시, 지반의 불균질성을 포함하여 학습을 수행하면 탐지 모델의 성능이 개선됨을 의미한다.

Enhancement of light trapping in solar cells is becoming increasingly urgent for the development of next generation thin film solar cells. One of the possible candidates for increasing light trapping in thin film solar cells that has emerged recently is the use of scattering from metallic nanostructures. In this study, we have investigated the effects of the geometric parameters of Ag nanorings on the light scattering efficiency by using three dimensional Finite Different Time Domain (FDTD) calculations. We have found that the forward scattering of incident radiation from Ag nanorings strongly depends on the geometric parameters of the nanostructures such as diameter, height, etc. The forward scattering to substrate direction is increased as the outer diameter and height of the nanorings decrease. In particular, for nanorings larger than 200 nm, the inner diameter of Ag nanorings should be optimized to enhance the forward scattering efficiency. Light absorption and scattering efficiency calculations for the various nanoring arrays revealed that the periodicity of nanorings arrays also plays an important role in the absorption and the scattering efficiency enhancement. Light scattering efficiency calculations for nanoring arrays also revealed that enhancement of scattering efficiency could be utilized to enhance the light absorption through the forward scattering mechanism.

The local field distribution around gold nanosphere-gold plane junction has been studied using the finitedifference time-domain (FDTD) electrodynamics calculation procedure. We find that both the in-plane and out-of-plane polarized excitation produce enhanced field strong enough to explain the observed SERS activities of the junctions. Comparison with a simple dipole-image dipole model shows that the enhanced field primarily originates from the multipole-image multipole interaction, which indicates that the detailed fine-structures of the nanoparticles also play a significant role in the SERS activities as well.

A general characterization procedure based on the extraction of a 2n-port admittance matrix corresponding to n uniform coupled lines on the multi-layered substrate using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) technique is presented. The frequency-dependent normal mode parameters are obtained from the 2n-port admittance matrix, which in turn provides the frequency-dependent distributed inductance and capacitance matrices. To illustrate the technique, several practical coupled line structures on multi-layered substrate, including a three-line structure, have been simulated. It is shown that the FDTD based time domain characterization procedure is an excellent broadband simulation tool for the design of multiconductor coupled lines on multilayered PCBs as well as thick or thin hybrid structures.

We studied experimentally and theoretically the vertical range of the confined electric field in the gap area of metamaterials, which was analyzed for various gap widths using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. We measured the resonant frequency as a function of the thickness of poly(methyl methacrylate) in the range 0 to 3.2 μm to quantify the effective detection volumes. We found that the effective vertical range of the metamaterial is determined by the size of the gap width. The vertical range was found to decrease as the gap width of the metamaterial decreases, whereas the sensitivity is enhanced as the gap width decreases due to the highly concentrated electric field. Our experimental findings are in good agreement with the finite-difference time-domain simulation results. Finally, a numerical expression was obtained for the vertical range as a function of the gap width. This expression is expected to be very useful for optimizing the sensing efficiency.
