Analysis of Recent Interpretations of the Abraham-Minkowski Problem
arXiv:1810.01374 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.98.043847
Abstract
The 100-year-long problem concerning the correct form of the electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor in continuous media (usually called the Abraham-Minkowski problem) continues to attract interest. We provide a critical analysis of interpretations presented in the literature on this topic recently, in two cases - one real experiment on radiation pressure A. Kundu {\it et al.}, Scient. Reports {\bf 7}, 42538 (2017), and one computer experiment M. Partanen {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 95}, 063850 (2017).
