Download or read book Electrodynamics of Magnetoactive Media written by Israel D. Vagner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main part of the book describes the behaviour of a charged particle in an electromagnetic field, and the electrodynamics of plasmas, liquid crystals and superconductors. These very different subjects have an important common feature, namely the fundamental role played by the magnetic field. Plasmas, liquid crystals and superconductors can be considered as magnetoactive media, because their electromagnetic characteristics are strongly affected by an external magnetic field.
