Reply to Comments on “Direct-Splitting-Based CN-FDTD for Modeling 2D Material Nanostructure Problems”

Abstract

In this response letter, we focus on addressing Yu Hang Yang’s comments so that the correctness and validity of the proposed auxiliary-differential-equation-based (ADE) Crank-Nicolson finite-difference time-domain method with direct-splitting technique (CNDS-FDTD) are demonstrated. Moreover, related applications in modeling 2D material nanostructure problems are shown.
