“…In the nanophotonics simulation, the Drude or Drude-Lorentz model is the common dispersion model for characterizing the plasmon behavior of metal materials, and they have been coupled with numerical methods and used in the time domain electromagnetic analysis. 1,2 There are varieties of numerical methods for solving time-domain Maxwell equations, such as the finite-difference time domain method (FDTD), 3 the time-domain finite volume method (FVTD), 4 the time-domain finite element method (FETD), 5 and the discontinuous Galerkin time-domain method (DGTD). 6 Among these methods, the DGTD method is especially suitable for solving electromagnetic problems with complex structures due to the flexibility of its mesh discretization, high order accuracy, and explicit time marching.…”
