An eigenvalue theory of circular birefringence and dichroism in a non-magnetic chiral medium

Tables of the Second Rank Constitutive Tensors for Linear Homogeneous Media Described by the Point Magnetic Groups of Symmetry

“…Depending on the nature of the medium and phenomena in question, different approximations to equations (1) and (2) are used in electromagnetic calculations. In accordance with (3), most of the electromagnetic phenomena may be satisfactorily described within the limiting number of the terms in (1) and (2).…”

“…The constitutive relations in another form, in the so called BoysPost representation are used by some authors [3,10,20]:…”

“…In some cases, they may contain integral-differential operators [1]. A general form of the relations which takes into account possible multiple effects that result from the interaction of electromagnetic field with media is [2][3][4][5]:…”

Measuring the permittivity and permeability of lossy materials :

“…(28) In addition, J = J(E,H), (29) where J is a. function of the electric and magnetic fields, cq and /io are the permittivity and permeability of vacuum, and Q is the macroscopic quadrupole moment density. P is the dipole-moment density, whereas P is the effective macroscopic polarization that also includes the macroscopic quadrupole-moment density [12,28,29,31,39] …”

“…For a Lorentz sphere the local field is well known to be a sum of apphed, depolarization, Lorentz, and atomic fields [24,40] Ez = Eq + EdcpoZ +^Lorentz -f"^atom- (31) For cubic lattices in a sphere, the apphed field is related to the macroscopic field and polarization by Ez = E + -i-P. (32) In the case of a sphere, the macroscopic field equals the apphed field. Onsager [18] Figure 5) The permittivity for a plasma has a high-frequency behavior that can be negative.…”
