What is wrong with the interpretation of recent nano-filament experiments?
Masud Mansuripur, Armis R. Zakharian
In a recent paper, W. She, J. Yu and R. Feng reported the slight deformations observed upon transmission of a light pulse through a short length of a silica glass nano-filament. Re…
Theoretical analysis of the force on the end face of a nano-filament exerted by an outgoing light pulse
Masud Mansuripur, Armis R. Zakharian
The slight deformations observed upon transmission of a light pulse through a short length of a silica glass nano-filament offer the possibility of determining the momentum of ligh…
Whence the Minkowski Momentum?
Masud Mansuripur, Armis R. Zakharian
Electromagnetic waves carry the Abraham momentum, whose density is given by p_EM = S(r,t)/c^2. Here S(r,t) = E(r,t)\timesH(r,t) is the Poynting vector at point r in space and insta…
Energy, Momentum, and Force in Classical Electrodynamics: Application to Negative-index Media
Masud Mansuripur, Armis R. Zakharian
The classical theory of electromagnetism is based on Maxwell's macroscopic equations, an energy postulate, a momentum postulate, and a generalized form of the Lorentz law of force.…
Equivalence of total force (and torque) for two formulations of the Lorentz law
Masud Mansuripur, Armis R. Zakharian, Jerome V. Moloney
Two formulations of the Lorentz law of force in classical electrodynamics yield identical results for the total force (and total torque) of radiation on a solid object. The object…
Radiation pressure on a submerged absorptive partial reflector deduced from the Doppler shift
Masud Mansuripur, Armis R. Zakharian
When a light pulse is reflected from a mirror, energy and momentum are exchanged between the electromagnetic field and the material medium. The resulting change in the energy of th…
