    Le poesie sono come le foglie dell'albero della vita. Liberano da molti dèmoni esorcizzandoli in una canzone.Poems are like the leaves of the tree of life. They free you from many daemons exorcising them in a song

    A warning about metamaterials for users of frequency-domain numerical simulators

    No full text
    It is shown that users of frequency-domain numerical simulators should be warned of the danger of using models with adjacent complementary media since such a configuration of materials can be a cause of a numerical instability which cannot be overcome by the presence of other lossy media or absorbing boundary conditions. The physical realizability at any frequency of models considering complementary media with sharp interfaces is then questioned by the contradiction between the deduced result and the one which holds true when the actual dielectric structure of metamaterials is considered

    Performances of electromagnetic finite element simulators in the presence of three-dimensional double negative scatterers

    The effects of the presence of double-negative (DNG) metamaterials on the accuracy of the results computed by finite element simulators are investigated. The performances of the iterative solver usually exploited by the same simulators are analysed, too. The outcome is that finite element simulators could require much finer meshes than usual when DNG metamaterials are involved, especially in regions containing and slightly surrounding the subregions occupied by DNG media. This effect is particularly important when the DNG metamaterials involved have not a very high magnetic or electric loss tangent. The effect on the most popular iterative solver is even more evident
