Simulation of dispersive plasmas using implicit and explicit ADE-FDTD schemes

We report in this talk our works on developments of finite-difference time-domain algorithms for simulating electromagnetic wave propagation in magnetized anisotropic plasmas consisting of electrons, positive, and negative ions. Both of our previously developed E-J full-collocation method and the current being-developed semi-collocation scheme are reported. The technical details, as well as some numerical results, are to be discussed during the presentation.
