First principles approach to the Abraham-Minkowski controversy for the momentum of light in general linear non-dispersive media
Tomás Ramos, Guillermo F. Rubilar, Yuri N. Obukhov
We study the problem of the definition of the energy-momentum tensor of light in general moving non-dispersive media with linear constitutive law. Using the basic principles of cla…
Relativistic Lagrangian model of a nematic liquid crystal interacting with an electromagnetic field
Yuri N. Obukhov, Tomas Ramos, Guillermo F. Rubilar
We develop a relativistic variational model for a nematic liquid crystal interacting with an electro- magnetic field. The constitutive relation for a general anisotropic uniaxial d…
Relativistic analysis of the dielectric Einstein box: Abraham, Minkowski and total energy-momentum tensors
Tomas Ramos, Guillermo F. Rubilar, Yuri N. Obukhov
We analyse the "Einstein box" thought experiment and the definition of the momentum of light inside matter. We stress the importance of the total energy-momentum tensor of the clos…
