Orthogonal-Phase-Velocity Propagation of Electromagnetic Plane Waves

Tom G. Mackay, Akhlesh Lakhtakia

In an isotropic, homogeneous, nondissipative, dielectric-magnetic medium that is simply moving with respect to an inertial reference frame, planewave solutions of the Maxwell curl…

Simple derivation of dyadic Green functions of a simply moving, isotropic, dielectric-magnetic medium

Akhlesh Lakhtakia, Tom G. Mackay

Dyadic Green functions for time-harmonic fields in a homogeneous, isotropic, dielectric-magnetic medium, moving with constant velocity, are derived by first implementing a simple t…

Classification of dispersion equations for homogeneous dielectric-magnetic uniaxial materials

Ricardo A. Depine, Marina E. Inchaussandague, Akhlesh Lakhtakia

The geometric representation at a fixed frequency of the wavevector (or dispersion) surface for lossless, homogeneous dielectric--magnetic uniaxial materials is explore…

Boundary value problems and the validity of the Post constraint in modern electromagnetism

Akhlesh Lakhtakia

When a (frequency-domain) boundary value problem involving a homogeneous linear material is solved to assess the validity of the Post constraint, a conflict arises between the fund…

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…

Anisotropic enhancement of group velocity in a homogenized dielectric composite medium

Tom G. Mackay, Akhlesh Lakhtakia

Under certain circumstances, the group velocity in a homogenized composite medium (HCM) can exceed the group velocity in its component material phases. We explore this phenomenon f…
