Linear electromagnetic wave equations in materials
R. Starke, G. A. H. Schober
After a short review of microscopic electrodynamics in materials, we investigate the relation of the microscopic dielectric tensor to the current response tensor and to the full el…
Ab initio materials physics and microscopic electrodynamics of media
R. Starke, G. A. H. Schober
We argue that the amazing progress of first-principles materials physics necessitates a revision of the Standard Approach to electrodynamics of media. We hence subject this Standar…
Response Theory of the Electron-Phonon Coupling
R. Starke, G. A. H. Schober
This article presents a systematic theoretical enquiry concerning the conceptual foundations and the nature of phonon-mediated electron-electron interactions. Starting from the fun…
Microscopic Theory of the Refractive Index
R. Starke, G. A. H. Schober
We examine the refractive index from the viewpoint of modern first-principles materials physics. We first argue that the standard formula, $n^2 = \varepsilon_{\mathrm r} μ_{\mathrm…
Functional Approach to Electrodynamics of Media
R. Starke, G. A. H. Schober
In this article, we put forward a new approach to electrodynamics of materials. Based on the identification of induced electromagnetic fields as the microscopic counterparts of pol…
