Light scattering by magnetoelectrically gyrotropic sphere with unit relative permittivity and relative permeability
Abstract:
An exact transition matrix was formulated for electromagnetic scattering by a sphere made of a magnetoelectrically gyrotropic material with unit relative permittivity and relative permeability. The total scattering and forward scattering efficiencies are lower when the magnetoelectric gyrotropy vector of the sphere is either coparallel or antiparallel to the electric field or magnetic field of an incident plane wave than when the magnetoelectric gyrotropy vector is parallel to the propagation vector of the incident plane wave. Backscattering is absent when the propagation vector is either coparallel or antiparallel to the magnetoelectric gyrotropy vector.

Electric Field of a Non Uniformly Charged Sphere
Consider a non-uniformly charged sphere, for which the density of charge depends only on the distance from a point in space and not on the direction. Such a sphere has a spherically symmetrical charge distribution. Here, the electric...
Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
