What is a Medium? A spacetime manifold allowing signals to propagate Free Space (Reference Medium) Vacuum (Gravitation? Quantum?) Materials
What is Complex? That which is not SIMPLE! What is SIMPLE? Textbook stuff!
From the Microscopic to the Macroscopic Microscopic Fields: Discrete (point) Charges:
From the Microscopic to the Macroscopic Maxwell Postulates (microscopic): Nonhomogeneous Nonhomogeneous Homogeneous Homogeneous
From the Microscopic to the Macroscopic Maxwell Postulates (macroscopic): spatial averaging Nonhomogeneous Nonhomogeneous Homogeneous Homogeneous
From the Microscopic to the Macroscopic Free sources (impressed) Bound sources (matter)
From the Microscopic to the Macroscopic Induction fields:
From the Microscopic to the Macroscopic Maxwell Postulates (macroscopic): Nonhomogeneous Nonhomogeneous Homogeneous Homogeneous Free sources Bound sources (induction fields)
From the Microscopic to the Macroscopic Maxwell Postulates (macroscopic): Nonhomogeneous Nonhomogeneous Homogeneous Homogeneous
Constitutive Relations(always macroscopic) Primitive fields: Induction fields: D and H as functions of E and B
Constitutive Relations(always macroscopic) D and H as functions of E and B Simplest medium: Free space Simple medium: Linear, Homogeneous, Isotropic, Dielectric Delay Absorption Complex medium: Everything else Delay Absorption Anisotropy Chirality Nonhomogeneity Nonlinearity
Macroscopic Maxwell Postulates (Time-Harmonic) Temporal Fourier Transformation:
Constitutive Relations(always macroscopic) Free space Linear, isotropic dielectric
Constitutive Relations(always macroscopic) 3. Linear, anisotropic dielectric
Constitutive Relations(always macroscopic) 4. Linear bianisotropic:
Constitutive Relations(always macroscopic) 4. Linear bianisotropic: Structural constraint (Post): Reciprocity: Crystallographic symmetries: ….
