Reply to "Comment on 'Theoretical analysis of the force on the end face of a nano-filament exerted by an outgoing light pulse'"
Masud Mansuripur, Armis R. Zakharian
We respond to a Comment on our paper [Physical Review A 80, 023823 (2009)], which appears to have stemmed from a misunderstanding of the various energy-momentum tensors of classica…
On the Foundational Equations of the Classical Theory of Electrodynamics
Masud Mansuripur
A close examination of the Maxwell-Lorentz theory of electrodynamics reveals that polarization and magnetization of material media need not be treated as local averages over small…
Electromagnetic force and torque in ponderable media
Masud Mansuripur
Maxwell's macroscopic equations combined with a generalized form of the Lorentz law of force are a complete and consistent set of equations. Not only are these five equations fully…
Electromagnetic Stress Tensor in Ponderable Media
Masud Mansuripur
We derive an expression for the Maxwell stress tensor in a magnetic dielectric medium specified by its permittivity "epsilon" and permeability "mu." The derivation proceeds from th…
Radiation pressure and the linear momentum of the electromagnetic field in magnetic media
Masud Mansuripur
We examine the force of the electromagnetic radiation on linear, isotropic, homogeneous media specified in terms of their permittivity epsilon and permeability mu. A formula is pro…
Radiation Pressure on Submerged Mirrors: Implications for the Momentum of Light in Dielectric Media
Masud Mansuripur
Radiation pressure measurements on mirrors submerged in dielectric liquids have consistently shown an effective Minkowski momentum for the photons within the liquid. Using an exact…
