Abstract

Two sets of new surface integral equations, based on the Stratton-Chu formulation, are developed to analyze the interactions of an incident electromagnetic wave with a 2D metallic nanostructure for the transverse-magnetic (TM) mode and the transverse-electric (TE) mode, respectively. For the former, the surface integral equations are in terms of the surface components of the tangential magnetic field Hz, the normal displacement field Dn, and the tangential electric field Et. As to the latter, the equations are in terms of the surface components of the tangential electric field Ez, the normal magnetic flux density Bn, and the tangential magnetic field Ht. The numerical results show that for TM mode a standing wave pattern is observed on the backside of a metallic nanoscatterer with a size of several hundreds nanometers, which is caused by two surface plasmon waves creeping along the boundary clockwise and counterclockwise. However there is only a shadow zone on the backside of the metallic scatterer for TE mode.
