Dramatic improvements in our ability to simulate complicated physical systems using computers have highlighted the need to have an advanced reference for early-career scientists and research workers. This book is the first to treat, in a comprehensive fashion, the fundamental aspects of the electromagnetic properties of heterostructures and the theoretical knowledge of the computational techniques needed to understand dielectric phenomena in quantitative and physical terms. The book re-establishes the conceptual foundations of the physics associated with numerical simulation tools of the Laplace or the Poisson equations, and shows their immediate implementation. This book is theoretical, but it is by no means meant to be read only by those who want to become theorists. It is relevant for all practicing engineers and materials scientists who develop composite materials that are capable of handling specified technological requirements by utilizing their electromagnetic properties.

Christian Brosseau is Professor of Physics at the Université de Bretagne Occidentale, Brest, France where he led the wave–matter interaction modelling and simulation group. His research interests include electromagnetic wave propagation in complex media, plasmonics, nanophysics, biological physics, and computational materials physics.
