Abstract
The transfer matrix method (TMM) utilizing a real-space basis combined with Bloch´s theorem is used to calculate the band structure for periodic structures. In this work, we focus on the real-space TMM that is good in modeling frequency dependent and negative-index materials. 3D examples are presented and discussed. Comparison between this approach and a plane-wave method showed a perfect match in results
