Electromagnetic Energy Momentum Tensor in a Spatially Dispersive Medium

General Physics 2016-04-11 v1

Abstract

We derive a generalized Minkowski Energy Momentum Tensor for a monochromatic wave in a lossless medium exhibiting temporal and spatial dispersion. The Energy Momentum Tensor is then related to familiar expressions for energy density and energy flux, as well as new expressions for momentum density and momentum flux.
