摘要
A numerical approach that couples Lorentz-Drude model incorporated Maxwell equations with Schrodinger equation is presented for the simulation of plasmonics nanodevices. Maxwell equations with Lorentz-Drude (LD) dispersive model are applied to large size components, whereas coupled Maxwell and Schrodinger equations are applied to components where quantum effects are needed. The finite difference time domain method (FDTD) is applied to simulate these coupled equations. Numerical results of the coupled approach are compared with the conventional approach.
