Practical Electrodynamics with Advanced ApplicationsThis textbook covers the advanced application and
techniques of electrodynamics. The book begins with an introduction to the
topic, with basic notations and equations presented, before moving on to
examine various topics such as electromagnetic waves in a vacuum, the theory of
relativity (including the Lorentz transformation) and electromagnetic fields in
matter. Dispersion and transport are discussed, along with wave interactions in
types of plasma and metamaterials, before the problems of electromagnetism in
continuous matter are reviewed, and boundary interactions are studied.
The second half of the book looks at the more
advanced topics, including dielectric guides techniques, further metamaterial
and plasma interactions (such as helicoidal phenomena), interactions involving
conductivity and X-ray, and magnetic field dynamics. Condensed matter equations
are covered along with more general matter relations, and an advanced study of
the direct and inverse problems of electrodynamics closes the topic. Finally,
advanced exercises are available in the final chapter.
This is an excellent learning tool for students
studying electrodynamics courses, and serves as a robust resource for anyone
involved in the field.
