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…
Anomalous absorption of bulk shear sagittal acoustic waves in a layered structure with viscous fluid
Dmitri K. Gramotnev, Melissa L. Mather, Timo A. Nieminen
It is demonstrated theoretically that the absorptivity of bulk shear sagittal waves by an ultra-thin layer of viscous fluid between two different elastic media has a strong maximum…
