3D anisotropy definition method

  I have a dielectric function which is expressed in spherical coordinates, is it possible to define the complex tensor of a 3D anisotropic dielectric in this coordinate system? or am I restricted to cartesian coordinates?

 

Cheers,

Patrick

    Hi @pmcardle

     

    Feko currently only supports tensors defined in Cartesian coordinates.

     

    Can you add an example (or reference) for what you are trying to model?

      I am trying to replicate the results for the spherical shells in the attached paper. They present their dielectric function in terms of spherical coordinates.
