Throughout my whole career including student time I have had a feeling that leaning and teaching electromagnetism, especially macroscopic Maxwell equations (M-eqs) is dif?cult. In order to make a good use of these equations, it seemed necessary to be able to use certain empirical knowledges and model-dependent concepts, rather than pure logics. Many of my friends, colleagues and the physicists I have met on various occasions have expressed similar impressions. This is not the case with microscopic M-eqs and quantum mechanics, which do not make us feel reluctant to teach, probably because of the clear logical structure. What makes us hesitate to teach is probably because we have to explain what we ourselves do not completely understand. Logic is an essential element in physics, as well as in mathematics, so that it does not matter for physicists to experience dif?culties at the initial phase, as far as the logical structure is clear. As the we- known principles of physics say, “a good theory should be logically consistent and explain relevant experiments”. Our feeling about macroscopic M-eqs may be related with some incompleteness of their logical structure.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
“The book under review is a specialized but at the same time a very interesting exposition on the Maxwell equations in matter or, in other words, on the response functions of matter to electromagnetic fields. It certainly is of interest to physicists working in condensed matter physics and optics, but also to scientists who want to learn more about some fundamental aspects of electrodynamics. Since the author applies his theory to metamaterials, the book could also catch the attention of scientists specializing in material science.” (Marek Nowakowski, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 a)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book presents a logically more complete form of macroscopic Maxwell equations than the conventional ones by applying long wavelength approximation to microscopic nonlocal theory. This scheme requires only one susceptibility tensor describing electric and magnetic polarizations together with their mutual interference. The quantum mechanical expression of the susceptibility covers both chiral and achiral symmetry. Only in the absence of chiral symmetry, this reduces to the conventional form, under the additional condition of using magnetic susceptibility defined with respect to, not H, but B. This scheme solves various problems inherent to the conventional scheme of Maxwell equations.

Caracteristici

New and complete theory of Maxwell equations Integrates nonlocal theory and long wavelength approximation as well as quantum mechanical treatment Useful reference work for researchers and study text for graduate students alike Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Notă biografică

Brief Biography of Kikuo Cho
Prof. Dr. Kikuo Cho was born in 1940 in Japan. He got his PhD in 1970 from Tokyo University for the theoretical study of optical line shapes of alkali-halide phosphors. He was research assistant at the Institute for Solid State Physics of Tokyo University from 1966 to 1971, studying the optical properties of impurity centers and excitons in non-metallic crystals.  Then he spent 5 years and a half in Europe, as visiting Professor at Stuttgart University for 1971-72, as reseach associate at the University of Strasbourg for 1972-73, and as visiting researcher at Institut fuer Festkoerperforschung in Stuttgart for 1973-76.  During this period, he had strongly collaborated with experimental groups, which resulted in the book “Excitons” (Springer Verlag, Topics in Current Physics 14). In 1977 he became associate Professor of solid state theory at Osaka University and full professor in 1991. In the latter half of this period his main activity ison the construction of microscopic nonlocal response theory (“Optical Response of Nanostructures”, Springer Verlag, series Solid State Science).  After retirement in 2004, he became Professor Emeritus of Osaka University. In the years 2006 – 2010 he was Fellow of Toyota Physical and Chemical  Research Institute, and devoted himself to the logically complete reformulation of macroscopic Maxwell equations based on his own microscopic nonlocal response theory. It resulted in the book, “Reconstruction of macroscopic Maxwell equations” (Springer Tracts in Modern Physics, 2010). Since 2015 July he is a member of the council of Toyota Physical and Chemical Research Institute.
