World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Microwave Properties Of Magnetic Films
Book SynopsisPrevious works on this subject tended to be too specialised, making it difficult for students who lack the necessary background in this subject to follow. This book attempts to remedy the situation by providing students from other disciplines the basic background necessary to understand the discussion in this book. In this way, it provides a bridge between basic science and applications/course work. The book begins by presenting the fundamental principles of microwave materials using electrical engineering terminology, hence providing the necessary background before it discusses well-known physical concepts or solid state. Having reviewed the basic concepts, it goes on to discuss a systematic procedure of describing the microwave properties of materials. The organised and comprehensive nature of the book makes it a very useful reading and reference source.Table of ContentsReview of Maxwell equations and units; classical principles of magnetism; introduction to magnetism; free magnetic energy; phenomenological theory; electrical properties of magnetic films; Kramers-Kronig relations; electromagnetic wave propagation in magnetic films; magnetic surface boundary conditions; matrix representation of wave propagation in magnetic films.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Force-free Magnetic Fields: Solutions, Topology
Book SynopsisAfter an introductory chapter concerned with the history of force-free magnetic fields, and the relation of such fields to hydrodynamics and astrophysics, the book examines the limits imposed by the virial theorem for finite force-free configurations. Various techniques are then used to find solutions to the field equations. The fact that the field lines corresponding to these solutions have the common feature of being “twisted”, and may be knotted, motivates a discussion of field line topology and the concept of helicity. The topics of field topology, helicity, and magnetic energy in multiply connected domains make the book of interest to a rather wide audience. Applications to solar prominence models, type-II superconductors, and force-reduced magnets are also discussed. The book contains many figures and a wealth of material not readily available elsewhere.Table of ContentsThe virial theorem; solutions to the force-free field equations; field topology; magnetic energy in multiply connected domains; applications; force-free fields and electromagnetic waves; proof of the Jacobi polynomial identities; separation of the wave equation, cyclides and boundary conditions.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Intermediate Electromagnetic Theory
Book SynopsisThis invaluable text has been developed to provide students with more background for the applications of electricity and magnetism particularly in optics and topics related to research instrumentation. For example, waveguides (both conducting and dielectric) are discussed more thoroughly than in most texts because they are an important laboratory tool and important components of modern communications. The text, therefore, modernizes the topics covered in a typical electricity and magnetism text. Because this approach requires an understanding of the mathematics relevant to the topics, the text includes a much more thorough discussion of the mathematics of electricity and magnetism than found in current texts. It provides a solid background for students who need knowledge of electricity and magnetism, particularly physics majors.Table of ContentsThe mathematics of electricity and magnetism; electrostatics; boundary value problems - the solutions to Laplace's equation and Poisson's equation; current and conduction; the magnetic field of steady currents; the electric field in matter; magnetic fields in matter; time dependent fields - Faraday's law; Maxwell's equations; applications of Maxwell's equations - the topics of plane waves; applications of Maxwell's equations - guided waves; application of Maxwell's equations - radiation; relativity.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd From Photons To Atoms: The Electromagnetic Nature
Book SynopsisMotivated by a revision of the classical equations of electromagnetism that allow for the inclusion of solitary waves in the solution space, the material collected in this book examines the consequences of adopting the modified model in the description of atomic structures. The possibility of handling 'photons' in a deterministic way indeed gives a chance to review the foundations of quantum physics. Atoms and molecules are described as aggregations of nuclei and electrons joined through organized photon layers resonating at various frequencies, explaining how matter can absorb or emit light quanta. Some established viewpoints are subverted, offering an alternative scenario. The analysis seeks to provide an answer to many technical problems in physical chemistry and, at the same time, to raise epistemological questions.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Theory Of Electromagnetoelasticity
Book SynopsisTheory of Electromagnetoelasticity presents a systematic and unique treatment of elastic, electric and magnetic interactions in solids including various thermal and dissipative effects such as viscoelasticity and electrical conduction. In this book, a general and nonlinear continuum theory is constructed. The fundamental building blocks of the theory — the electromagnetic body force, couple and power — are calculated from a multi-continuum model consisting of a lattice continuum for elastic deformation, a bound charge continuum for electric polarization, a circulating current continuum for magnetization, and a free charge fluid for electrical conduction. The multi-continuum model is simpler than the common charged particle model and reveals the underlying physics from a unique angle. The complete set of Maxwell's equations for the electromagnetic fields is included without the widely used quasistatic approximations of the electric and/or magnetic fields. The theory established can be used to describe different kinds of interactions between acoustic and optical fields or waves. Some linear problems are analyzed as examples to show some of the simplest elastic and electromagnetic couplings.
