The physical reasons why the Drude dielectric function is not compatible with the Lifshitz formula, as opposed to the generalized plasma-like permittivity, are presented. Essentially, the problem is connected with the finite size of metal plates. It is shown that the Lifshitz theory combined with the generalized plasma-like permittivity is thermodynamically consistent.

We present the results on the anomalous 2D transport behavior by employing Drude-Boltzmann transport theory and taking into account the realistic charge impurity scattering effects. Our results show quantitative agreement with the existing experimental data in several different systems and address the origin of the strong and non-monotonic temperature dependent resistivity.

A polarizable force field for nucleic acid bases based on the classical Drude oscillator model is presented. Parameter optimization was performed to reproduce crystallographic geometries, crystal unit cell parameters, heats of sublimation, vibrational frequencies and assignments, dipole moments, molecular polarizabilities and quantum mechanical base-base and base-water interaction energies. The...

The Drude-Smith equation is widely used for treating the frequency-dependent electrical conductivity of materials in terahertz region. An attractive feature its sparsity adjustable parameters. A significant improvement over Drude theory these materials, includes backscattering charge carriers. It has nevertheless been criticized, including by Smith himself, because arbitrariness a step derivati...

In this paper, an ideal cylindrical metamaterial invisibility cloak with infinite-length which its electric permittivity and magnetic permeability mapped to the Drude dispersion model is simulated. The sinusoidal plane waves with microwave frequencies used as sources. To this end, the dispersive finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD) used with Convolutional Perfectly Matched Layered (CPML)...

We extend our approach to the Casimir effect between absorbing dielectric multilayers [M. S. Tomaš, Phys. Rev. A 66, 052103 (2002)] to magnetodielectric systems. The resulting expression for the force is used to numerically explore the effect of the medium dispersion on the attractive/repulsive force in a metal-magnetodielectric system described by the Drude-Lorentz permittivities and permeabil...

The charge dynamics of the copper oxide materials in the underdoped and optimal doped regimes is studied within the framework of the fermion-spin theory. The conductivity spectrum shows the non-Drude behavior at low energies and unusual midinfrared peak, and the resistivity exhibits a linear behavior in the temperature, which are consistent with experiments and numerical simulations.

The residual resistivity ρ in metals caused by wedge disclination dipoles is studied in the framework of the Drude formula. It is shown that ρ ∼ L −p with p = 3 for biaxial and p = 2 for uniaxial dipoles (L is a size of dipole arm).

We deal with the well-posedness of the transient Maxwell equations in a particular class of heterogeneous isotropic chiral material modeled by the Drude–Born–Fedorov constitutive relations. A new formulation of the underlying evolution problem allows us to correct a previous result establishing the existence and uniqueness of the electromagnetic fields in a homogeneous medium.
