Abstract :
A method for analytic evaluation of reaction matrix elements in a spectral-domain moment method is presented. We demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the method for several substrate environments, for a range of element separations. It is concluded that with similar analytical numerical approaches for asymptotic evaluation, the computational efficiency of the spectral domain moment method can be greatly enhanced.
