Simulating Framework for Graphene based Devices using Finite Difference Time Domain Method
This paper focuses on studying a simulating framework for graphene based devices using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Conventional FDTD is modified for graphene material using Surface Boundary Condition (SBC) where grapheme considered as a two dimensional ultra-thin conductive sheet. Then a Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) technique is implemented to terminate the computational grids. Using the surface boundary condition technique to model the graphene thin layer significantly reduces the computational cost compared to using the conventional FDTD. The given formulation is accompanied by required validation.
