A computationally efficient circuit-equivalent modeling approach based on the electric-field integral-equation (EFIE) formulation is employed to simulate the highly dispersive behavior of nanowires at short wavelengths. The proposed approach can be used both for frequency-domain and for time-domain EFIE formulations. In comparison with widely used full-wave solutions achieved through the finite-difference time-domain method, the circuit-based EFIE formulation results in a sharp reduction of the computational resources while retaining high accuracy.}, organization = {This work was supported in part by the Spanish Ministry of Education under Project PR2009-0443, in part by the Penn State MRSEC under NSF Grant 0213623, in part by the EU FP7/2007-2013 under Grant GA 205294 (HIRF SE project), in part by the Spanish National Projects TEC2010-20841- C04-04, CSD200800068, and DEX-5300002008105, and in part by the Junta de Andalucia Project P09-TIC5327.}, publisher = {IEEE}, keywords = {Computational nanotechnology}, keywords = {Integral equations}, keywords = {Time-domain analysis}, title = {A Computationally Efficient Method for Simulating Metal-Nanowire Dipole Antennas at Infrared and Longer Visible Wavelengths}, doi = {10.1109/TNANO.2011.2117438}, author = {Fernández Pantoja, Mario Alberto and Bray, Matthew G. and Werner, Douglas H. and Werner, Pingjuan L. and Rubio Bretones, Amelia Consuelo}, }
