We investigate the reflection properties of electromagnetic/optical waves in isotropic chiral media. When the chiral parameter is strong enough, we show that an unusual negative reflection occurs at the interface of the chiral medium and a perfectly conducting plane, where the incident wave and one of reflected eigenwaves lie in the same side of the boundary normal. Using such a property, we fu...

Generation of wake fields by a short electromagnetic pulse in a plasma with an inhomogeneous background magnetic field and density profile is considered, and a wave equation is derived. Transmission and reflection coefficients are calculated in a medium with sharp discontinuities. Particular attention is focused on examples where the longitudinal part of the electromagnetic field is amplified f...

In this study, nanooctahedra MnFe₂O₄ were successfully deposited on a wood surface via a low hydrothermal treatment by hydrogen bonding interactions. As-prepared MnFe₂O₄/wood composite (MW) had superior performance of soft magnetism, fire resistance and electromagnetic wave absorption. Among them, small hysteresis loops and low coercivity (<±5 Oe) were observed in the magnetization-field curve ...

Waves in periodic media, whose propagation is governed by nearest neighbour interaction, are investigated. The reflection and transmission coefficients are derived for a plane wave incident from medium 1 upon medium 2, without invoking common approximations. The derivation is valid for a class of waves including magnetoand electro-inductive waves, waves on short loaded dipoles, nanoparticles, c...

We propose a frequency selective duplexer using microwave photonic band gap ~PBG! structures. It uses two different PBGs to control the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the microwave region. In this structure, an additional narrow reflection band appears in the transmission spectrum when the PBG structure is not properly located relative to the T junction. By considering multiple reflect...

We have studied the effect of changes in pulse wave reflection on the configurations of pressure and flow in systemic and pulmonary circulation. Electromagnetic flow transducers, atrial catheters, and pacing leads were implanted in 10 dogs. In four animals, the flow transducer was placed on the pulmonary artery, in another four on the ascending aorta, and in two additional dogs on both vessels....

A simple method is proposed to describe the propagation of electromagnetic waves in magnetized uniform plasma slabs. Using this method, the reflection, absorption and transmission coefficients of such plasmas for right-hand circularly waves are studied and the effects of the continuously changing external magnetic field on the power of the electromagnetic waves propagated in magnetized plasma s...

─In this paper, an inverse procedure algorithm is proposed to evaluate lightning return stroke current wave shapes at different heights along a lightning channel, as well as the ground reflection factor using measured electromagnetic fields at an observation point while the current model can be set for different models based on the general form of the engineering current models. In order to val...
