Abstract

Due to the relationship between charge dimensionality and singular field behavior, the stand-alone half rooftop is allowed to exist in the volumetric description of a topology carrying a three dimensional current. This leads to the possibility of using multi-level meshing to describe nanotopologies. The meshing scheme is validated by numerical calculations and experiments.
