New procedure for permittivity and permeability extraction of two composite (dielectric matrix + magnetic inclusions), isotropic and homogeneous absorbing material is presented. It calculates mentioned parameters by fitting measured transmission data with Debye relaxation model (for complex dielectric permittivity extraction) and with Lorenzian resonant model (for complex permeability extractio...

This contribution presents a dielectric spectroscopy study in which four different devices in combination with five different probes were used in order to measure the complex effective relative permittivity of a fine-grained soil in a frequency range from 1 MHz to 40 GHz. Subsequently, the dielectric measurements were combined to obtain a permittivity curve over the entire frequency range. Meas...

The theoretical study outlined in this paper is motivated by the growing interest in microwave imaging in closed microwave systems. We present an original approach to the inverse problem of reconstruction of media parameters (complex permittivity) of a body in a waveguide. The consideration is based on the use of a volume singular integral equation and its reduction to an equation which can be ...

The formation of CH3Cl from (CH3)3SCl in various solvents has been studied based on M05/6-311+G(2d,p) DFT calculations to quantify the influence of the solvent on the stability of sulfonium cations. Four different pathways (one SN1, one backside and two frontside attacks for SN2) as well as the formation of different ion pairs (tripod, seesaw, and linear) are discussed to investigate the origin...

To investigate the origin of the first order molecular kinetics of the most prominent, Debye-type polarization, a detailed dielectric relaxation study of 66.5, 40, and 20 mole% solutions of 5-methyl-2-hexanol in 2-methylpentane (2:1, 0.67:1, and 0.25:1 molar ratios) was performed. The Debye-type polarization remains prominent in the solutions, despite the extensive loss of intermolecular hydrog...

We consider electrons in the presence of interfaces with different effective electron mass, and electromagnetic fields in the presence of a high-permittivity interface in bulk material. The equations of motion for these dimensionally hybrid systems yield analytic expressions for Green's functions and electromagnetic potentials that interpolate between the two-dimensional logarithmic potential a...

The light scattering by a spherical particle with radial anisotropic permittivity ε and permeability μ are discussed in detail by expanding Mie theory. With the modified vector potential formulation, the electric anisotropy effects on scattering efficiency are addressed by studying the extinction, scattering, absorption and radar cross sections following the change of the transverse permittivit...

Typically, many of the modern buildings have concrete walls constructed from cinder block walls, that have periodic nature in their relative dielectric constant. This periodic nature excites higher-order Floquet harmonic modes at microwave frequencies, which leads to the propagation of scattered waves along with non-specular directions. Periodic structures exhibit different behaviors when illum...
