Transition Boundary Condition
The Transition Boundary Condition is used on interior boundaries to model a sheet of a medium that should be geometrically thin but does not have to be electrically thin. It represents a discontinuity in the tangential electric field. Mathematically it is described by a relation between the electric field discontinuity and the induced surface current density:
where indices 1 and 2 refer to the different sides of the layer. This feature is not available with the Electromagnetic Waves, Transient interface.
The Surface Roughness subnode is available from the context menu (right-click the parent node) or from the Physics toolbar, Attributes menu.
Transition Boundary Condition
Select an Electric displacement field modelRelative permittivity (the default), Refractive index, Loss tangent, loss angle, Loss tangent, dissipation factor, Dielectric loss, Drude-Lorentz dispersion model, or Debye dispersion model. See the Wave Equation, Electric node, Electric Displacement Field section, for all settings.
Enter a Thickness d (SI unit: m). The default is 0.01 m.
