Vivid Structural Coloration in Transparent MXene‐Cellulose Nanocrystals Composite Films
Vivid structural coloration in reflectance and high transparency in transmittance modes are observed in biopolymer‐layered composite films. The ultrathin multilayered structures have unique optical appearance, near‐infrared bandgap, and strong optical reflection caused by alternating MXene and cellulose nanocrystals layers with high refractive index ...

Investigation of Numerical Dispersion with Time Step of The FDTD Methods: Avoiding Erroneous Conclusions [PDF]
It is widely thought that small time steps lead to small numerical errors in the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. In this paper, we investigated how time steps impact on numerical dispersion of two FDTD methods including the FDTD(2,2) method and the FDTD(2,4) method.

A Stable FDTD Subgridding Scheme with SBP-SAT for Transient Electromagnetic Analysis [PDF]
We proposed a provably stable FDTD subgridding method for accurate and efficient transient electromagnetic analysis. In the proposed method, several field components are properly added to the boundaries of Yee's grid to make sure that the discrete operators meet the summation-by-parts (SBP) property.

Assessment of FDTD accuracy in the compact hemielliptic dielectric lens antenna analysis [PDF]
The objective of the paper is to assess the accuracy of a standard FDTD code in the analysis of the near and far-field characteristics of two-dimensional models of small-size dielectric lens antennas made of low or high-index materials and fed by the line sources.

Symmetry‐broken plasmonic nanoantenna arrays achieve broadband multiresonant enhancement of second harmonic generation (SHG), third harmonic generation (THG), and upconversion photoluminescence (UCPL), under femtosecond laser excitation across the near‐infrared range (1000–1600 nm).

Towards the Development of A Three-Dimensional SBP-SAT FDTD Method: Theory and Validation [PDF]
To enhance the scalability and performance of the traditional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods, a three-dimensional summation-by-parts simultaneous approximation term (SBP-SAT) FDTD method is developed to solve complex electromagnetic problems.

Energy analysis of the ADI-FDTD method with fourth-order accuracy in time for Maxwell's equations
In this work, the ADI-FDTD method with fourth-order accuracy in time for the 2-D Maxwell's equations without sources and charges is proposed. We mainly focus on energy analysis of the proposed ADI-FDTD method.
