Changing the morphology of noble metal nanoparticles and polarization dependence of nanoparticles with different morphologies is an important part of further research on surface plasma enhancement. Therefore, we used the method based on Matlab simulation to provide a simple and effective method for preparing the morphologies of Au nanoparticles with different morphologies, and prepared the structure of Au nanoparticles with good uniformity and different morphologies by oblique angle deposition (OAD) technology. The change of the surface morphology of nanoparticles from spherical to square to diamond can be effectively controlled by changing the deposition angle. The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method was used to simulate the electromagnetic fields of Au nanoparticles with different morphologies to explore the polarization dependence of nanoparticles with different shapes, which was in good agreement with Raman spectrum.

In this study, the implicit Crank–Nicolson finite-difference time-domain (CN-FDTD) method is applied to discretize the governing telegrapher's equations of a composite right-/left-handed (CRLH) coupled-line coupler. The unconditionally stable CN-FDTD is compared with the conventional leap-frog (LF) FDTD method. The results obtained from the CN-FDTD scheme show up to 10 times increase in the temporal step size, reflecting in a dramatic decrease in processing time; in addition to having a good agreement with the LF method and the measurements.

Plasmonic platforms based on Au nanostructures have been successfully synthesized by directional solidification of a eutectic from Au and the substrate. In order to determine homogeneous shape and space distribution, the influence of annealing conditions and the initial thickness of the Au film on the nanostructures was analyzed. For the surface morphology studies, SEM and AFM measurements were performed. The structure of platforms was investigated using XRD and XPS methods. Structural investigations confirmed, that nanostructures consist of metallic Au, growing along the [111] direction. The most homogeneous seems to be the platform obtained by solidification of a 2.8 nm Au film, annealed at 550 °C for 15 min. This sample was subsequently chosen for theoretical calculations. Simulations of electromagnetic field propagation through the produced samples were performed using the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method. The calculated absorbance, as a result of the FDTD simulation shows a quite good agreement with experimental data obtained in the UV–vis range.

The flexible SERS substrate were prepared base on regenerated cellulose fibers, in which the Au nanoparticles were controllably assembled on fiber through electrostatic interaction. The cellulose fiber was regenerated from waste paper through the dry-jet wet spinning method, an eco-friendly and convenient approach by using ionic liquid. The Au NPs could be controllably distributed on the surface of fiber by adjusting the conditions during the process of assembling. Finite-difference time-domain theoretical simulations verified the intense local electromagnetic fields of plasmonic composites. The flexible SERS fibers show excellent SERS sensitivity and adsorption capability. A typical Raman probe molecule, 4-Mercaptobenzoicacid (4-MBA), was used to verify the SERS cellulose fibers, the sensitivity could achieve to 10−9 M. The flexible SERS fibers were successfully used for identifying dimetridazole (DMZ) from aqueous solution. Furthermore, the flexible SERS fibers were used for detecting DMZ from the surface of fish by simply swabbing process. It is clear that the fabricated plasmonic composite can be applied for the identifying toxins and chemicals.

AbstractTo study the lightning electromagnetic pulse (LEMP) coupling and protection problems of shielding enclosure with penetrating wire, we adopt the model with proper size which is close to the practical engineering and the two-step finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is used for calculation in this paper. It is shown that the coupling voltage on the circuit lead inside the enclosure increases about 34 dB, when add 1.0 m long penetrating wire at the aperture, comparing with the case without penetrating wire. Meanwhile, the waveform, has the same wave outline as the lightning current source, shows that the penetrating wire brings a large number of low frequency component into the enclosure. The coupling effect in the enclosure will reduce greatly when penetrating wire has electrical connection with the enclosure at the aperture and the coupling voltage increase only about 12 dB than the case without penetrating wire. Moreover, the results show that though the waveguide pipe can reduce the coupling effect brought by the penetrating wire, the exposing part of penetrating wire can increase the coupling when the penetrating wire outside the enclosure is longer than the waveguide pipe and the longer the exposing part is, the stronger the coupling is.

By employing a generalization of the conservation law for momentum using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, the feasibility of using a near-field optical fibre probe to create near-field optical trapping is investigated. Numerical results indicate that the scheme is able to trap nanoparticles with diameters of tens of nanometres in a circular shape with lower laser intensity. Using the built system with a tapered metal-coated fibre probe, 120 nm polystyrene particles are trapped in a multi-circular shape with a minimum size of 400 nm. They are at a resolution of λ/7 (λ: laser wavelength) and d (d: tip diameter of fiber probe), respectively.

An image focusing method for holographic subsurface radar (HSR) is proposed herein. HSR is increasingly being utilized to survey objects buried at shallow depths and the acquired signals are converted into an image by a reconstruction algorithm. However, that algorithm requires actual depth and material information or depends on human decisions. In this paper, an entropy-based image focusing technique is proposed and validated by numerical simulation software package based on finite-difference time-domain method and experiment. The resulting images show good agreement with the actual positions and shapes of the targets.

Abstract Stamping is one of the most used manufacturing processes, where real-time monitoring is quite difficult due to high speed of the mechanical press, which leads to deterioration of the accuracy of the products In the present work, a method is developed to model elastic waves propagation in solids to measure contact conditions between die and workpiece during stamping. A two-dimensional model is developed that reduces the wave propagation equations to two-dimensional equations. To simulate the wave propagation inside the die-workpiece model, the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method and modified Yee algorithm has been employed. The numerical stability of the wave propagation model is achieved through courant stability condition, i.e., Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) number. Two cases, i.e., flat die-workpiece interface and inclined die-workpiece interface, are investigated in the present work. The elastic wave propagation is simulated with a two-dimension (2D) model of the die and workpiece using reflecting boundary conditions for different material properties. The experimental and simulation-based results of reflected and transmitted wave characteristics are compared for different materials in terms of reflected and transmitted wave height ratio and material properties such as acoustic impedance. It is found that the numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results.
