Fdtd Phase Reflection

In summary, the study explores the use of Ansys Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulation to analyze phase changes in materials resulting from reflective processes. The research focuses on how reflective surfaces influence the thermal and optical properties of materials, leading to phase transitions. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of FDTD in predicting these changes, providing valuable insights for applications in photonics and materials science.

TL;DR Summary: I set up the FDTD simulation to simulating the phase change due to reflection of difference materials. But the result is not similar with the reference paper

Hello,

I am currently simulating phase change due to reflection on gold (Au) using Ansys FDTD. My setup includes using a Frequency Domain Field and a Power monitor to observe the angle of the E-field in x-polarization. However, the phase change tendencies I'm observing do not match those in my reference paper.
My configuration: The yellow X is Frequency Domain Field and a Power monitor. The light source is 1um above the sample and the monitor is 1um above the light source
