The Effect of Temperature Change on the Plasma Reflectance

Abstract

A novel finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, called shift operator FDTD(SO-FDTD) is developed for dispersive media plasma. The recursive relation among operators is used. The dielectric property of dispersive media is written as rational polynomial function. In this paper, with approximate different temperature, reflectance of electromagnetic wave is calculated by using SO-FDTD method. The effect of temperature change on the reflectance is discussed. The study illustrates that higher temperature helps plasma to absorb electromagnetic wave.
