Description

Book Synopsis
This book opens a new avenue to an engendering field of applied physics, located at the “crossing” of modern photonics, electromagnetics, acoustics and material science. It also highlights the concept of “non-locality”, which proves to be not a special feature of quantum phenomena, but is shown to have an important counterpart in classical physics and its engineering applications too. Furthermore, it visualizes the physical results by means of simple analytical presentations, reduced sometimes to the elementary functions.

Table of Contents
Introduction; Non-Local Dispersion of Heterogeneous Dielectrics; Gradient Photonic Barriers: Generalizations of the Fundamental Model; Resonant Tunneling of Light Through Gradient Dielectric Nanobarriers; Interaction of Electromagnetic Waves with Continuously Structured Dielectrics; Polarization Phenomena in Gradient Nanophotonics; Gradient Optics of Surface EM Waves in Metamaterials; Acoustic Barriers in Gradient Solids; Shear Acoustic Waves in Gradient Elastic Solids; Gradient Acoustics of Surface Waves in Metamaterials.
