Abstract :
The Maxwell-Schrödinger coupled model is implemented and solved with a FDTD scheme which allows to describe the impact of microwave EM fields on the behaviour of the electronic configuration in a sandwiched nanostructure of Al and SiO2. The proposed solution focuses on the study of the wavefunction, through which it is possible to determine the eigenfrequencies of the electrons and hence their energy levels; this is a very general method and can be applied to many other problems related to nanodevices.
