On electromagnetic boundary conditions and constitution of homogeneous materials
Akhlesh Lakhtakia
Constitutive scalars that are absent in the fundamental differential equations of frequency-domain electromagnetism on the two sides of a boundary between two homogeneous mediums a…
Uniaxial dielectric mediums with hyperbolic dispersion relations
Tom G. Mackay, Akhlesh Lakhtakia, Ricardo A. Depine
The dispersion relations for conventional uniaxial dielectric mediums may be characterized as elliptical or elliptical-like, according to whether the medium is nondissipative or di…
Taking nanotechnology to schools
Akhlesh Lakhtakia
After a primer on nanotechnology and a review of current educational practices in secondary schools, the concept of just-in-time education is proposed to integrate technosciences a…
Negative phase velocity in isotropic dielectric-magnetic mediums via homogenization
Tom G. Mackay, Akhlesh Lakhtakia
We report on a strategy for achieving negative phase velocity (NPV) in a homogenized composite medium (HCM) conceptualized using the Bruggeman formalism. The constituent material p…
On Onsager Relations and Linear Electromagnetic Materials
A. Lakhtakia, R. A. Depine
We investigated the Onsager relations in the context of electromagnetic constitutive relations of linear, homogeneous materials. We determined that application of the Onsager relat…
A new condition to identify isotropic dielectric-magnetic materials displaying negative phase velocity
R. A. Depine, A. Lakhtakia
The derivation of a new condition for characterizing isotropic dielectric-magnetic materials exhibiting negative phase velocity, and the equivalence of that condition with previous…
