Modeling Magnetized Graphene in the Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method Using an Anisotropic Surface Boundary Condition

A cost-effective approach to the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) modeling of magnetized graphene sheets as a dispersive anisotropic conductive surface is proposed. We first introduce a novel method for implementation of anisotropic conductive surface boundary condition in the FDTD method. Then, by applying the surface conductivity matrix of magnetized graphene, we present modeling magnetized graphene as an infinitesimally thin conductive sheet in the FDTD method. The applicability, accuracy, and stability of the method are demonstrated through numerical examples. The proposed approach is validated by comparing the results with existing analytic solution.
