The subject of this paper is the derivation of expressions describing envelopes of electromagnetic fields inside a 1D photonic crystal. The presented approach is based on an effective resonator model, which treats each layer of the photonic crystal as a resonant cavity. The model is analytic and allows one to derive parameters characterizing the photonic crystal and express electric and magneti...

This paper reviews the epidemiologic evidence that low frequency electromagnetic fields generated by alternating current may be a cause of cancer. Studies examining residential exposures of children and adults and studies of electrical and electronics workers are reviewed. Using conventional epidemiologic criteria for inferring causal associations, including strength and consistency of the rela...

Maxwell equations are the basis of the theory of electromagnetic fields. In the stationary case they split into independent problems for electric and magnetic fields. For the electric field in conductive media electrical conductivity problem is formulated, and in insulators the problem of electrostatics is formulated. Equations for stationary problems are of elliptic type, whereas in general th...

We point out in this work that if our recently proposed unified description of gravitation and electromagnetism through a symmetric metric tensor is true, then building in the laboratory black holes for electrons with radii rE ≥ 0.5m in air and with much smaller radii in a vacuum should be possible. The possibility that spacetime is curved in the presence of an electromagnetic field, just like ...

Recently, a new category of persons, claiming to suffer from exposure to electromagnetic fields, has been described in the literature. In Sweden, electrohypersensitivity (EHS) is an officially fully recognized functional impairment (i.e., it is not regarded as a disease). Survey studies show that somewhere between 230,000-290,000 Swedish men and women report a variety of symptoms when being in ...

The exact solution of the Dirac equation and the spectrum of electron quasienergies in a superposition of the field of a circularly polarized electromagnetic wave and a homogeneous magnetic field parallel to the direction of wave propagation, are found taking into account the anomalous magnetic moment. It is found that taking account of the anomalous magnetic moment removes the spin degeneracy ...

During the last decades studies addressing the effects of exposure to Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (ELF-EMF) have pointed out a possible link between those fields emitted by power lines and childhood leukaemia. They have also stressed the importance of also including in the assessment the contribution of frequency components, namely harmonics, other than the fundamental one. B...

The EMF and Breast Cancer on Long Island Study (EBCLIS) was a case-control study designed to evaluate the possible association between exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and breast cancer. Eligible women were participants in the population-based Long Island Breast Cancer Study Project, were under 75 years of age at enrollment, were residentially stable, and were identified between August...

The scalar Huygens-Fresnel principle is reformulated to take into account the vector nature of light and its associated directed electric and magnetic fields. Based on Maxwell's equations, a vector Huygens secondary source is developed in terms of the fundamental radiating units of electromagnetism: the electric and magnetic dipoles. The formulation is in terms of the vector potential from whic...
