Effective Boundary Conditions in Electrodynamics of Nanostructures

Abstract

The effective boundary condition method is extended to nano-scale mesoscopic systems. The EBCs appear as a result of the 2D-homogenezation procedure and have the form of two-side anisotropic impedance boundary conditions stated on the structure's surface. The surface impedance tensor has been evaluated for a set of typical nanostructures. It has been shown that, unlike to macroscopic electrodynamics, the surface impedance tensor exhibits sharp oscillations at frequencies of optical transitions. The EBC method supplemented with well-developed mathematical techniques of classical electrodynamics creates unified basis for solution of boundary-value problems in electrodynamics of nanostructures. A generalization of the EBC method to the quantum electrodynamics is also presented,
