Electromagnetic Scattering and Analysis
Electromagnetic Scattering and Analysis is a research topic within Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics. Science Explorer counts 32k research works in it since 1950. 12.2% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the application of integral equation methods, such as the boundary element method and the fast multipole method, to solve electromagnetic scattering problems. The use of hierarchical matrices, characteristic basis functions, and domain decomposition methods is explored for efficient solution techniques. The papers also discuss surface integral equations, Maxwell's equations, and the method of moments in the context of electromagnetic scattering.

How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
