摘要
In this work we utilize the Finite-Difference Time Domain (FDTD) Method coupled to a full band, particle-based simulator to solve for the total Lorentz force. Replacing a traditional Poisson solver with a more robust electromagnetics (EM) solver allows us to accurately account for radiated losses and provides a useful tool for investigating the near and far-field radiation patterns inherent in modern devices.
