CST University Publication Award 2009 - Winners Announced

Back in the Summer I wrote about the CST University Publication Award in this Blog. At the time we had just announced the 2010 award on the CST website.

Incase you are not familiar with this award, it is an annual grant to university institutes and researchers for their work in the application of 3D EM field simulation. The winners are awarded with extensions to their CST STUDIO SUITE installations.

Prerequisites for participation are that the papers are authored or co-authored by university researchers, published either in scientific journals or conference proceedings, and the numerical results are entirely or in part obtained through simulation using CST software products.

The following papers have been selected to receive the CST University Publication Award 2009:

• “Theory and simulation of surface plasmon excitation using resonant metal nanoparticle arrays”; Amitabh Ghoshal, Pieter G. Kik; JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS 103, 29.03.2008, pp 113111-1 - 113111-8


• “Noninvasive Procedure for Measuring the Complex Permittivity of Resins, Catalysts, and Other Liquids Using a Partially Filled Rectangular Waveguide Structure”; M. Jaleel Akhtar, Lambert E. Feher, Manfred Thumm; IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MICROWAVE THEORY AND TECHNIQUES, VOL. 57, NO. 2, FEBRUARY 2009 pp 458-471


• “Role of surface plasmon polaritons on optical transmission through double layer metallic hole arrays”; R. Ortuño, C. García-Meca, F. J. Rodríguez-Fortuño, J. Martí, Alejandro Martínez; PHYSICAL REVIEW B 79 12.02.2009 pp 075425-1 - 075425-10

Short paper award

• “Simplified Approach for 3-D Nonlinear Induction Heating Problems”; A. Canova, F. Dughiero. F. Fasolo, M. Forzan, F. Freschi, L. Giaccone, M. Repetto; IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MAGNETICS VOL. 45, NO. 3, MARCH 2009

The abstracts of these papers and of many more publications using CST software can be found in our references list.

If you are an academic researcher and have penned a paper, in English, that was published in either in scientific journals or conference proceedings between April 1st 2009 and March 31st 2010 , and the numerical results are entirely or in part obtained through simulation using CST software products, then please send me a copy. You never know, maybe you will be among the winners of an upgraded CST STUDIO SUITE licence for one year.
