Abstract

Blocked Schur finite-element bidirectional beam propagation method (BS-FE-BiBPM) is introduced for the solution of electron waveguides with multiple discontinuities. Scattering properties could be accurately calculated using BiBPM based on time-independent Schrödinger equation while Blocked Schur algorithm is used for accurate computation of the characteristic matrix square root. The suggested approach substantially reduces the computational time while preserving very high efficiency.
