Energy Density of a Dissipative Polarizable Solid by a Lagrangean Formalism
نویسنده
چکیده
A Lagrangean for the dynamics of an electromagnetic field in a dispersive and dissipative material is constructed (adapting some ideas by Bekenstein and Hannay) and an expression for the energy density that is positive is obtained from it. The expression contains extra (sink) degrees of freedom that represent dissipating modes. In simplified cases the sink modes can be eliminated to yield an energy density expression in terms of the electromagnetic fields, the polarization and the magnetization only, but which contains parameters associated with the sink modes. The method of adding extra modes can be used to set up a Lagrangean formalism for dissipative systems in general, such that will reinstate time-translation invariance and will yield a unique energy density.

Perturbative Approach to Calculating the Correlation Function of bi-isotropic Metamaterials
A bi-isotropic magneto-electric metamaterials is modeled by two independent reservoirs. The reservoirs contain a continuum of three dimensional harmonic oscillators, which describe polarizability and magnetizability of the medium. The paper aimed to investigate the effect of electromagnetic field on bi-isotropic. Starting with a total Lagrangian and using Euler-Lagrange equation, researcher cou...
متن کاملHamiltonian Structure for Dispersive and Dissipative Dynamical Systems
We develop a Hamiltonian theory of a time dispersive and dissipative inhomogeneous medium, as described by a linear response equation respecting causality and power dissipation. The proposed Hamiltonian couples the given system to auxiliary fields, in the universal form of a so-called canonical heat bath. After integrating out the heat bath the original dissipative evolution is exactly reproduc...
متن کاملThe intersection of nuclear magnetic resonance and quantum chemistry
The chemical shielding is the most familiar and universal parameter in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). It may be calculated or measured experimentally; it may be studied by gas phase, liquid phase, or solid phase NMR, as well as by quantum mechanical methods. This chapter will introduce NMR both from a theoretical and an experimental standpoint, and quantum theory. The following ...
متن کاملBuilding cavities in a fluid of spherical or rod-like particles: A contribution to the solvation free energy in isotropic and anisotropic polarizable continuum model
A general formalism for the calculation of cavitation energies in the framework of the scaled particle theory has been implemented in the Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM), contributing to the nonelectrostatic part of the molecular free energy in solution. The solute cavity and the solvent molecules are described as hard spherocylinders, whose radius and length are related to the actual molecul...
متن کاملPerformance of extended Lagrangian schemes for molecular dynamics simulations with classical polarizable force fields and density functional theory.
Iterative energy minimization with the aim of achieving self-consistency is a common feature of Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD) and classical molecular dynamics with polarizable force fields. In the former, the electronic degrees of freedom are optimized, while the latter often involves an iterative determination of induced point dipoles. The computational effort of the self-consiste...
