Electromagnetic phenomena in matter

Viac o knihe

Modern electrodynamics in various media integrates the precise theory of electromagnetic fields with statistical descriptions across gases, plasmas, liquids, and solids, including dielectrics, conductors, and superconductors. This field is essential in physics and other natural sciences like astrophysics, biophysics, and ecology, as well as in technological applications such as radio electronics and laser technologies. The electrodynamics of matter is grounded in fundamental electrodynamics but enhanced with specific electromagnetic field descriptions through statistical physics, quantum mechanics, and condensed matter physics. This book systematically covers key electrodynamic phenomena in matter, presenting a range of theoretical approaches and highlighting significant manifestations such as superconductivity, magnetic hydrodynamics, and radiation in crystals. It also explores applications across various physics branches and other scientific fields, addressing the complexities of electrodynamics at different material levels. Targeted at 3-4 year bachelor, master, and PhD students, as well as lecturers and professionals, it requires a foundational understanding of general physics and higher mathematics. Detailed examples and problems are included, with advanced problems marked for guidance, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience.
