In this paper, the exact differential surface admittance (DSA) operator for scattering analysis of a homogeneous dielectric sphere is constructed. By utilizing two sets of orthogonal vector spherical harmonics as the basis functions for a Galerkin Method of Moments, the operator in question is obtained analytically. In comparison with the Mie series solution for a tangential electric dipole as source, a combination of the electric field integral equation and the DSA is shown to produce the same result within 12 digits of accuracy, laying the foundations for a subsequent analysis into the operator’s fundamental properties.
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 for integration into next-generation electronic
