Electromagnetic media with Higgs-type spontaneously broken transparency
arXiv:1406.3442 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2014.12.024
Abstract
In the framework of standard electrodynamics with linear local response, we construct a model that provides spontaneously broken transparency. The functional dependence of the medium parameter turns out to be of the Higgs type.
