Product details
Biographical note
Onkar N. Singh is the editor of Electromagnetic Fields in Unconventional Materials and Structures, published by Wiley. Akhlesh Lakhtakia is Evan Pugh University Professor and Charles Godfrey Binder Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics at the Pennsylvania State University. His research focuses on electromagnetic fields in complex materials, such as sculptured thin films, chiral materials, and bianisotropy.
"In summary, Electromagnetic Fields in Unconventional Materials and Structures is an advanced book, written by experts, that is bound to be useful to serious researchers" (Int. Jnl. of Electronics and Communications, Vol.55, No.5, 2001)<br /> "Congratulations! The book is a pearl. It is like a treasury." (Optik - Int. Jnl. for Light & Electron Optics, Vol.112, No.19, 2001)
These topics include the rotation of polarization of electric waves by a twisted structure; homogenization of linear bianistotropic composite materials; novel free-space techniques to characterize complex mediums; sculptured thin films; electrodynamic properties of carbon nanotubes; and more.
Electromagnetic Fields in Unconventional Materials and Structures:
* Focuses on geometry in both large and small scales
* Provides a blueprint for electromagnetics research at the turn of the century
* Features new results, comments, and prognostications on 21st century research
* Includes more than 150 illustrations as well as hundreds of charts, tables, and references
