The `generate_mesh_wire` function takes as input: +++ - `radius_wire`: the radius of the wire - `radius_scatt`: the radius of the circle where scattering efficiency is calculated - `l_dom`: length of real domain - `l_pml`: length of PML layer - `in_wire_size`: the mesh size at a distance `0.8 * radius_wire` from the origin - `on_wire_size`: the mesh size on the wire boundary - `scatt_size`: the mesh size on the circle where scattering efficiency is calculated - `pml_size`: the mesh size on the outer boundary of the PML - `au_tag`: the tag of the physical group representing the wire - `bkg_tag`: the tag of the physical group representing the background - `scatt_tag`: the tag of the physical group representing the boundary where scattering efficiency is calculated - `pml_tag`: the tag of the physical group representing the PML (together with pml_tag+1 and pml_tag+2) ```python def generate_mesh_wire( radius_wire: float, radius_scatt: float, l_dom: float, l_pml: float, in_wire_size: float, on_wire_size: float, scatt_size: float, pml_size: float, au_tag: int, bkg_tag: int, scatt_tag: int, pml_tag: int, ): dim = 2 # A dummy circle for setting a finer mesh c1 = gmsh.model.occ.addCircle(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, radius_wire * 0.8, angle1=0.0, angle2=2 * np.pi) gmsh.model.occ.addCurveLoop([c1], tag=c1) gmsh.model.occ.addPlaneSurface([c1], tag=c1) c2 = gmsh.model.occ.addCircle(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, radius_wire, angle1=0, angle2=2 * np.pi) gmsh.model.occ.addCurveLoop([c2], tag=c2) gmsh.model.occ.addPlaneSurface([c2], tag=c2) wire, _ = gmsh.model.occ.fragment([(dim, c2)], [(dim, c1)]) # A dummy circle for the calculation of the scattering efficiency c3 = gmsh.model.occ.addCircle(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, radius_scatt, angle1=0, angle2=2 * np.pi) gmsh.model.occ.addCurveLoop([c3], tag=c3) gmsh.model.occ.addPlaneSurface([c3], tag=c3) r0 = gmsh.model.occ.addRectangle(-l_dom / 2, -l_dom / 2, 0, l_dom, l_dom) inclusive_rectangle, _ = gmsh.model.occ.fragment([(dim, r0)], [(dim, c3)]) delta_pml = (l_pml -

See {ref}`Scattering boundary conditions: Mathematical formulation ` for a detailed description. ```python def compute_a(nu: int, m: complex, alpha: float) -> float: J_nu_alpha = jv(nu, alpha) J_nu_malpha = jv(nu, m * alpha) J_nu_alpha_p = jvp(nu, alpha, 1) J_nu_malpha_p = jvp(nu, m * alpha, 1) H_nu_alpha = hankel2(nu, alpha) H_nu_alpha_p = h2vp(nu, alpha, 1) a_nu_num = J_nu_alpha * J_nu_malpha_p - m * J_nu_malpha * J_nu_alpha_p a_nu_den = H_nu_alpha * J_nu_malpha_p - m * J_nu_malpha * H_nu_alpha_p return a_nu_num / a_nu_den def calculate_analytical_efficiencies( eps: complex, n_bkg: float, wl0: float, radius_wire: float, num_n: int = 50 ) -> tuple[float, float, float]: m = np.sqrt(np.conj(eps)) / n_bkg alpha = 2 * np.pi * radius_wire / wl0 * n_bkg c = 2 / alpha q_ext = c * np.real(compute_a(0, m, alpha)) q_sca = c * np.abs(compute_a(0, m, alpha)) ** 2 for nu in range(1, num_n + 1): q_ext += c * 2 * np.real(compute_a(nu, m, alpha)) q_sca += c * 2 * np.abs(compute_a(nu, m, alpha)) ** 2 return q_ext - q_sca, q_sca, q_ext ``` ## Perfectly matched layers (PMLs) Now, let's consider an infinite metallic wire immersed in a background medium (e.g. vacuum or water). Let's now consider the plane cutting the wire perpendicularly to its axis at a generic point. Such plane $\Omega=\Omega_{m} \cup\Omega_{b}$ is formed by the cross-section of the wire $\Omega_m$ and the background medium $\Omega_{b}$ surrounding the wire. We limit the background medium with a squared perfectly matched layer (or shortly PML), which will act as an absorber for outgoing scattered waves. The goal of this demo is to calculate the electric field $\mathbf{E}_s$ scattered by the wire when a background wave $\mathbf{E}_b$ impinges on it. We will consider a background plane wave at $\lambda_0$ wavelength, which can be written analytically as: $$ \mathbf{E}_b = \exp(\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{r})\hat{\mathbf{u}}_p $$ with $\mathbf{k} = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda_0}n_b\hat{\mathbf{u}}_k$ being the wavevector of the plane wave, pointing along the propagation direction, with $\hat{\mathbf{u}}_p$ being the polarization direction, and with $\mathbf{r}$ being a point in $\Omega$. We will only consider $\hat{\mathbf{u}}_k$ and $\hat{\mathbf{u}}_p$ with components belonging to the $\Omega$ domain and perpendicular to each other, i.e. $\hat{\mathbf{u}}_k \perp \hat{\mathbf{u}}_p$ (transversality condition of plane waves). Using a Cartesian coordinate system for $\Omega$, and by defining $k_x = n_bk_0\cos\theta$ and $k_y = n_bk_0\sin\theta$, with $\theta$ being the angle defined by the propagation direction $\hat{\mathbf{u}}_k$ and the horizontal axis $\hat{\mathbf{u}}_x$, we have: $$ \mathbf{E}_b = -\sin\theta e^{j (k_xx+k_yy)}\hat{\mathbf{u}}_x + \cos\theta e^{j (k_xx+k_yy)}\hat{\mathbf{u}}_y $$ The function `background_field` below implements this analytical formula: ```python def background_field(theta: float, n_b: float, k0: complex, x: np.typing.NDArray[np.float64]): kx = n_b * k0 * np.cos(theta) ky = n_b * k0 * np.sin(theta) phi = kx * x[0] + ky * x[1] return (-np.sin(theta) * np.exp(1j * phi), np.cos(theta) * np.exp(1j * phi)) ``` For convenience, we define the $\nabla\times$ operator for a 2D vector ```python def curl_2d(a: fem.Function): return ufl.as_vector((0, 0, a[1].dx(0) - a[0].dx(1))) ``` Let's now see how we can implement PMLs for our problem. PMLs are artificial layers surrounding the real domain that gradually absorb waves impinging them. Mathematically, we can use a complex coordinate transformation of this kind to obtain this absorption: $$ x^\prime= x\left\{1+j\frac{\alpha}{k_0}\left[\frac{|x|-l_{dom}/2} {(l_{pml}/2 - l_{dom}/2)^2}\right] \right\} $$ with $l_{dom}$ and $l_{pml}$ being the lengths of the domain without and with PML, respectively, and with $\alpha$ being a parameter that tunes the absorption within the PML (the bigger the $\alpha$, the faster the absorption). In DOLFINx, we can define this coordinate transformation in the following way: ```python def pml_coordinates(x: ufl.indexed.Indexed, alpha: float, k0: complex, l_dom: float, l_pml: float): return x + 1j * alpha / k0 * x * (ufl.algebra.Abs(x) - l_dom / 2) / (l_pml / 2 - l_dom / 2) ** 2 ``` We use the following domain specific parameters: ```python epsilon_0 = 8.8541878128 * 10**-12 mu_0 = 4 * np.pi * 10**-7 # Radius of the wire and of the boundary of the domain radius_wire = 0.05 l_dom = 0.8 radius_scatt = 0.8 * l_dom / 2 l_pml = 1 mesh_factor = 1 # The smaller the mesh_factor, the finer is the mesh in_wire_size = mesh_factor * 6e-3 # Mesh size inside the wire on_wire_size = mesh_factor * 3.0e-3 # Mesh size at the boundary of the wire scatt_size = mesh_factor * 15.0e-3 # Mesh size in the background pml_size = mesh_factor * 15.0e-3 # Mesh size at the boundary # Tags for the subdomains au_tag = 1 bkg_tag = 2 scatt_tag = 3 pml_tag = 4 ``` We generate the mesh using GMSH and convert it to a {py:class}`Mesh` using {py:func}`model_to_mesh `. ```python model = None gmsh.initialize(sys.argv) if MPI.COMM_WORLD.rank == 0: model = generate_mesh_wire( radius_wire, radius_scatt, l_dom, l_pml, in_wire_size, on_wire_size, scatt_size, pml_size, au_tag, bkg_tag, scatt_tag, pml_tag, ) model = MPI.COMM_WORLD.bcast(model, root=0) partitioner = dolfinx.cpp.mesh.create_cell_partitioner(dolfinx.mesh.GhostMode.shared_facet) mesh_data = gmshio.model_to_mesh(model, MPI.COMM_WORLD, 0, gdim=2, partitioner=partitioner) assert mesh_data.cell_tags is not None, "Cell tags are missing" assert mesh_data.facet_tags is not None, "Facet tags are missing" assert all(pg.dim == 2 for _, pg in mesh_data.physical_groups.items()), "Wrong phsyical group dim." gmsh.finalize() MPI.COMM_WORLD.barrier() ``` We visualize the mesh and subdomains with [PyVista](https://docs.pyvista.org/) ```python out_folder = Path("output_pml") out_folder.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True) tdim = mesh_data.mesh.topology.dim if have_pyvista: topology, cell_types, geometry = plot.vtk_mesh(mesh_data.mesh, 2) grid = pyvista.UnstructuredGrid(topology, cell_types, geometry) plotter = pyvista.Plotter() num_local_cells = mesh_data.mesh.topology.index_map(tdim).size_local grid.cell_data["Marker"] = mesh_data.cell_tags.values[ mesh_data.cell_tags.indices < num_local_cells ] grid.set_active_scalars("Marker") plotter.add_mesh(grid, show_edges=True) plotter.view_xy() if not pyvista.OFF_SCREEN: plotter.show(interactive=True) else: figure = plotter.screenshot(out_folder / "wire_mesh_pml.png", window_size=[800, 800]) ``` We observe five different subdomains: one for the gold wire (`au_tag`), one for the background medium (`bkg_tag`), one for the PML corners (`pml_tag`), one for the PML rectangles along $x$ (`pml_tag + 1`), and one for the PML rectangles along $y$ (`pml_tag + 2`). These different PML regions have different coordinate transformation, as specified here below: $$ \begin{align} \text{PML}_\text{corners} \rightarrow \mathbf{r}^\prime &= (x^\prime, y^\prime) \\ \text{PML}_\text{rectangles along x} \rightarrow \mathbf{r}^\prime &= (x^\prime, y) \\ \text{PML}_\text{rectangles along y} \rightarrow \mathbf{r}^\prime &= (x, y^\prime). \end{align} $$ Now we define some other problem specific parameters: ```python wl0 = 0.4 # Wavelength of the background field n_bkg = 1 # Background refractive index eps_bkg = n_bkg**2 # Background relative permittivity k0 = 2 * np.pi / wl0 # Wavevector of the background field theta = 0 # Angle of incidence of the background field ``` We use a degree 3 [Nedelec (first kind)](https://defelement.org/elements/nedelec1.html) element to represent the electric field: ```python degree = 3 curl_el = element("N1curl", mesh_data.mesh.basix_cell(), degree, dtype=default_real_type) V = fem.functionspace(mesh_data.mesh, curl_el) ``` Next, we interpolate $\mathbf{E}_b$ into the function space $V$, define our trial and test function, and the integration domains: ```python Eb = fem.Function(V) f = partial(background_field, theta, n_bkg, k0) Eb.interpolate(f) # Definition of Trial and Test functions Es = ufl.TrialFunction(V) v = ufl.TestFunction(V) # Definition of 3d fields Es_3d = ufl.as_vector((Es[0], Es[1], 0)) v_3d = ufl.as_vector((v[0], v[1], 0)) # Measures for subdomains dx = ufl.Measure("dx", mesh_data.mesh, subdomain_data=mesh_data.cell_tags) dDom = dx((au_tag, bkg_tag)) dPml_xy = dx(pml_tag) dPml_x = dx(pml_tag + 1) dPml_y = dx(pml_tag + 2) ``` Let's now define the relative permittivity $\varepsilon_m$ of the gold wire at $400nm$ (data taken from [*Olmon et al. 2012*](https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.86.235147) , and for a quick reference have a look at [refractiveindex.info]( https://refractiveindex.info/?shelf=main&book=Au&page=Olmon-sc)): ```python # Definition of relative permittivity for Au @400nm eps_au = -1.0782 + 1j * 5.8089 ``` We can now define a space function for the permittivity $\varepsilon$ that takes the value $\varepsilon_m$ for cells inside the wire, while it takes the value of the background permittivity $\varepsilon_b$ in the background region: ```python D = fem.functionspace(mesh_data.mesh, ("DG", 0)) eps = fem.Function(D) au_cells = mesh_data.cell_tags.find(au_tag) bkg_cells = mesh_data.cell_tags.find(bkg_tag) eps.x.array[au_cells] = np.full_like(au_cells, eps_au, dtype=eps.x.array.dtype) eps.x.array[bkg_cells] = np.full_like(bkg_cells, eps_bkg, dtype=eps.x.array.dtype) eps.x.scatter_forward() ``` Now we need to define our weak form in DOLFINx. Let's write the PML weak form first. As a first step, we can define our new complex coordinates as: ```python x = ufl.SpatialCoordinate(mesh_data.mesh) alpha = 1 # PML corners xy_pml = ufl.as_vector( (pml_coordinates(x[0], alpha, k0, l_dom, l_pml), pml_coordinates(x[1], alpha, k0, l_dom, l_pml)) ) # PML rectangles along x x_pml = ufl.as_vector((pml_coordinates(x[0], alpha, k0, l_dom, l_pml), x[1])) # PML rectangles along y y_pml = ufl.as_vector((x[0], pml_coordinates(x[1], alpha, k0, l_dom, l_pml))) ``` We can then express this coordinate systems as a material transformation within the PML region. In other words, the PML region can be interpreted as a material having, in general, anisotropic, inhomogeneous and complex permittivity $\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}_{pml}$ and permeability $\boldsymbol{\mu}_{pml}$. To do this, we need to calculate the Jacobian of the coordinate transformation: $$ \mathbf{J}=\mathbf{A}^{-1}= \nabla\boldsymbol{x}^ \prime(\boldsymbol{x}) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc} \frac{\partial x^{\prime}}{\partial x} & \frac{\partial y^{\prime}}{\partial x} & \frac{\partial z^{\prime}}{\partial x} \\ \frac{\partial x^{\prime}}{\partial y} & \frac{\partial y^{\prime}}{\partial y} & \frac{\partial z^{\prime}}{\partial y} \\ \frac{\partial x^{\prime}}{\partial z} & \frac{\partial y^{\prime}}{\partial z} & \frac{\partial z^{\prime}}{\partial z} \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} \frac{\partial x^{\prime}}{\partial x} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & \frac{\partial y^{\prime}}{\partial y} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & \frac{\partial z^{\prime}}{\partial z} \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} J_{11} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & J_{22} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right] $$ Then, our $\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}_{pml}$ and $\boldsymbol{\mu}_{pml}$ can be calculated with the following formula, from [Ward & Pendry, 1996]( https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09500349608232782): $$ \begin{align} {\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}_{pml}} &= A^{-1} \mathbf{A} {\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}_b}\mathbf{A}^{T},\\ {\boldsymbol{\mu}_{pml}} &= A^{-1} \mathbf{A} {\boldsymbol{\mu}_b}\mathbf{A}^{T}, \end{align} $$ with $A^{-1}=\operatorname{det}(\mathbf{J})$. We use `ufl.grad` to calculate the Jacobian of our coordinate transformation for the different PML regions, and then we can implement this Jacobian for calculating $\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}_{pml}$ and $\boldsymbol{\mu}_{pml}$. The here below function named `create_eps_mu()` serves this purpose: ```python def create_eps_mu( pml: ufl.tensors.ListTensor, eps_bkg: float | ufl.tensors.ListTensor, mu_bkg: float | ufl.tensors.ListTensor, ) -> tuple[ufl.tensors.ComponentTensor, ufl.tensors.ComponentTensor]: J = ufl.grad(pml) # Transform the 2x2 Jacobian into a 3x3 matrix.

In order to do so, we need to interpolate our solution discretized with Nedelec elements into a compatible discontinuous Lagrange space. ```python gdim = mesh_data.mesh.geometry.dim V_dg = fem.functionspace(mesh_data.mesh, ("DG", degree, (gdim,))) Esh_dg = fem.Function(V_dg) Esh_dg.interpolate(Esh) with VTXWriter(mesh_data.mesh.comm, out_folder / "Esh.bp", Esh_dg) as vtx: vtx.write(0.0) ``` For more information about saving and visualizing vector fields discretized with Nedelec elements, check [this](./demo_interpolation-io) DOLFINx demo. ```python if have_pyvista: V_cells, V_types, V_x = plot.vtk_mesh(V_dg) V_grid = pyvista.UnstructuredGrid(V_cells, V_types, V_x) Esh_values = np.zeros((V_x.shape[0], 3), dtype=np.float64) Esh_values[:, :tdim] = Esh_dg.x.array.reshape(V_x.shape[0], tdim).real V_grid.point_data["u"] = Esh_values plotter = pyvista.Plotter() plotter.add_text("magnitude", font_size=12, color="black") plotter.add_mesh(V_grid.copy(), show_edges=True) plotter.view_xy() plotter.link_views() if not pyvista.OFF_SCREEN: plotter.show() else: plotter.screenshot(out_folder / "Esh.png", window_size=[800, 800]) ``` Next we can calculate the total electric field $\mathbf{E}=\mathbf{E}_s+\mathbf{E}_b$ and save it: ```python E = fem.Function(V) E.x.array[:] = Eb.x.array[:] + Esh.x.array[:] E_dg = fem.Function(V_dg) E_dg.interpolate(E) with VTXWriter(mesh_data.mesh.comm, out_folder / "E.bp", E_dg) as vtx: vtx.write(0.0) ``` ## Post-processing To validate the formulation we calculate the absorption, scattering and extinction efficiencies, which are quantities that define how much light is absorbed and scattered by the wire. First of all, we calculate the analytical efficiencies with the `calculate_analytical_efficiencies` function ```python q_abs_analyt, q_sca_analyt, q_ext_analyt = calculate_analytical_efficiencies( eps_au, n_bkg, wl0, radius_wire ) ``` We calculate the numerical efficiencies in the same way as done in `demo_scattering_boundary_conditions.py`, with the only difference that now the scattering efficiency needs to be calculated over an inner facet, and therefore it requires a slightly different approach: ```python Z0 = np.sqrt(mu_0 / epsilon_0) # Vacuum impedance Hsh_3d = -1j * curl_2d(Esh) / (Z0 * k0 * n_bkg) # Magnetic field H Esh_3d = ufl.as_vector((Esh[0], Esh[1], 0)) E_3d = ufl.as_vector((E[0], E[1], 0)) # Intensity of the electromagnetic fields I0 = 0.5*E0**2/Z0 # E0 = np.sqrt(ax**2 + ay**2) = 1, see background_electric_field I0 = 0.5 / Z0 gcs = 2 * radius_wire # Geometrical cross section of the wire n = ufl.FacetNormal(mesh_data.mesh) n_3d = ufl.as_vector((n[0], n[1], 0)) # Create a marker for the integration boundary for the scattering # efficiency marker = fem.Function(D) scatt_facets = mesh_data.facet_tags.find(scatt_tag) incident_cells = mesh.compute_incident_entities( mesh_data.mesh.topology, scatt_facets, tdim - 1, tdim ) mesh_data.mesh.topology.create_connectivity(tdim, tdim) midpoints = mesh.compute_midpoints(mesh_data.mesh, tdim, incident_cells) inner_cells = incident_cells[(midpoints[:, 0] ** 2 + midpoints[:, 1] ** 2) < (radius_scatt) ** 2] marker.x.array[inner_cells] = 1 # Quantities for the calculation of efficiencies P = 0.5 * ufl.inner(ufl.cross(Esh_3d, ufl.conj(Hsh_3d)), n_3d) * marker Q = 0.5 * eps_au.imag * k0 * (ufl.inner(E_3d, E_3d)) / (Z0 * n_bkg) # Normalized absorption efficiency dAu = dx(au_tag) # Define integration domain for the wire q_abs_fenics_proc = (fem.assemble_scalar(fem.form(Q * dAu)) / (gcs * I0)).real # Sum results from all MPI processes q_abs_fenics = mesh_data.mesh.comm.allreduce(q_abs_fenics_proc, op=MPI.SUM) # Normalized scattering efficiency dS = ufl.Measure("dS", mesh_data.mesh, subdomain_data=mesh_data.facet_tags) q_sca_fenics_proc = ( fem.assemble_scalar(fem.form((P("+") + P("-")) * dS(scatt_tag))) / (gcs * I0) ).real # Sum results from all MPI processes q_sca_fenics = mesh_data.mesh.comm.allreduce(q_sca_fenics_proc, op=MPI.SUM) # Extinction efficiency q_ext_fenics = q_abs_fenics + q_sca_fenics # Error calculation err_abs = np.abs(q_abs_analyt - q_abs_fenics) / q_abs_analyt err_sca = np.abs(q_sca_analyt - q_sca_fenics) / q_sca_analyt err_ext = np.abs(q_ext_analyt - q_ext_fenics) / q_ext_analyt PETSc.Sys.Print(f"The analytical absorption efficiency is {q_abs_analyt}") PETSc.Sys.Print(f"The numerical absorption efficiency is {q_abs_fenics}") PETSc.Sys.Print(f"The error is {err_abs * 100}%") PETSc.Sys.Print() PETSc.Sys.Print(f"The analytical scattering efficiency is {q_sca_analyt}") PETSc.Sys.Print(f"The numerical scattering efficiency is {q_sca_fenics}") PETSc.Sys.Print(f"The error is {err_sca * 100}%") PETSc.Sys.Print() PETSc.Sys.Print(f"The analytical extinction efficiency is {q_ext_analyt}") PETSc.Sys.Print(f"The numerical extinction efficiency is {q_ext_fenics}") PETSc.Sys.Print(f"The error is {err_ext * 100}%") ``` ```python # Check if errors are smaller than 1% assert err_abs < 0.01, "Error in absorption efficiency is too large" # assert err_sca < 0.01 assert err_ext < 0.01, "Error in extinction efficiency is too large" ```
