Constraining Validity of the Minkowski Energy-Momentum Tensor
R. N. C. Pfeifer, T. A. Nieminen, N. R. Heckenberg +1
There exist two popular energy-momentum tensors for an electromagnetic wave in a dielectric medium. The Abraham expression is robust to experimental verification but more mathemati…

Momentum of an electromagnetic wave in dielectric media
Robert N. C. Pfeifer, Timo A. Nieminen, Norman R. Heckenberg +1
Almost a hundred years ago, two different expressions were proposed for the energy--momentum tensor of an electromagnetic wave in a dielectric. Minkowski's tensor predicted an incr…
