Electric permittivity and magnetic permeability of linear passive dispersive medium were defined using the circuit equation of an electrically small antenna (scatterer) with resonant and antiresonant properties. It was shown that the average macroscopic energy stored by the scatterers is proportional to frequency derivative of the input admittance of corresponding antenna. It was found that the...

In this paper we study local well-posedness in the energy space for a family of dispersive equations that can be seen as dispersive " interpolations " between the KdV and the Benjamin-Ono equation.

The surface properties of poly(methyl methacryl-ate-co-n-butyl methacrylate-co-cyclopentyl methacryloxy propyl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane) (poly(MMA-co -BMA-co-POSSMA)) were studied by means of inverse gas chromatography (IGC) using 10 non-polar and polar solvents as the probes. Thermodynamic parameters of adsorption, such as the dispersive component of the surface energy, the specifi...

A novel wavelength dispersive soft X-ray emission spectrometer (WD-SXES) has been developed. It covers nominally the X-ray energy range between 50 and 210 eV [1, 2]. One of the characteristic features of the WD-SXES is parallel detection of the signal so that it can be used like a conventional energy dispersive spectrometer. One other feature is a high energy resolution, which is about 0.2 eV. ...

An expression for the electromagnetic field energy density in a dispersive, lossy, lefthanded metamaterial, consisting of an array of split-ring resonators and an array of wires is derived. An electromagnetic field with general time-dependence is considered. The outcome is compared with previously published results. In the absence of losses, agreement with the general result for the energy dens...

Classical relativistic field theory is used as a basis for a general discussion of the problem of splitting up the total energy-momentum tensor ofa system into contributions from its component subsystems. Both the Minkowski and Abraham forms (including electrostriction) arise naturally in alternative split-up procedures applied to a nondispersive dielectric fluid. The case of an electromagnetic...

Light-pulse propagation in angularly dispersive systems is explored in the context of a center-of-mass definition of energy arrival time. In this context the time of travel is given by a superposition of group delays weighted by the spectral content of the pulse. With this description the time of travel from one point to the next for a pulse is found to be completely determined by the spectral ...
