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…
