Conservative fourth-order accurate finite-difference scheme to solve the (3+1)D tilted Dirac equation in strained Dirac semimetals
Owing to their increased electron mobility compared to conventional semiconductors, three-dimensional (3D) Dirac semimetals are considered to be promising candidates
Broadband Impedance Response Extraction of On-Chip Interdigital Capacitors using a 3-D DSA Operator for Piecewise Homogeneous Structures
In this contribution, an enhanced 3-D differential surface admittance operator is proposed, facilitating accurate modeling of piecewise homogeneous cuboidal objects.
