Shape, Size, and Orientation Effects in Homogenized Composite Materials: A Case Study Based on Golden Vaterite
Homogenization formalisms require the constitutive parameters of the component materials of a composite material, together with parameters that characterize the shapes, orientations, sizes, and distributions o...

Chapter
Relativistic Pulse Scattering
The scattering of electromagnetic signals by an object in uniform translational motion may be computed with the four-step frame-hop** method arising from the special theory of relativity. As the scattered si...

On the Anatomy of Voigt Plane Waves
Voigt plane waves propagate along singular optic axes in certain dissipative (and active) anisotropic dielectric materials. Mathematically, the amplitude of a Voigt plane wave exhibits a linear–exponential dep...

Chapter
Using Boundary Conditions with the Ewald–Oseen Extinction Theorem
The Ewald–Oseen extinction theorem can be used to formulate scattering problems in which the surface of the scatterer is electrically and/or magnetically non-neutral, thereby encompassing, e.g., topologically ...

Chapter
Rigorous Coupled-Wave Approach and Transformation Optics
In order to predict the performance parameters of a thin-film photovoltaic solar cell, the first step is to solve the Maxwell equations throughout the device so as to predict the electron–hole generation rate ...

Chapter
Continuity of Field Patterns for Exceptional Surface Waves and Exceptional Compound Waves
Surface waves guided by the planar interface of two dissimilar mediums or compound waves guided by two such parallel planar interfaces are classified as unexceptional or exceptional, depending upon their local...

What is Design?
It is not enough that we build products that function, that are understandable and usable, we also need to build products that bring joy and excitement, pleasure and fun, and, yes, beauty to people’s lives.

Nonlinearly Graded Photon-Absorbing Layer
The bandgap energy of a compound semiconductor depends on its composition, as exemplified by the compositional parameter ξ which quantifies the gallium–indium ratio in CuIn1-ξGaξSe2, the sulfur-selenium ratio in ...

Chapter
Linearly Graded Photon-Absorbing Layer
The coupled optoelectronic model of Chapters 2 and 3 [1] has been validated in Chapter 4 against experimental data for thin-film CIGS, CZTSSe, and AlGaAs solar cells with homogeneous photon–absorbing layers. M...
