An Electromagnetic (EM) pulse falling on a plasma medium from vacuum can either reflect or propagate inside the plasma depending on whether it is overdense or underdense. In a magnetised plasma, however, there are usually several pass and…
At a surface between electromagnetic media the Maxwell equations are consistent with either the usual boundary conditions, or exactly one alternative: continuity of E(perpendicular), H(perpendicular), D(parallel), B(parallel). These…

Conduction electrons in metallic nano-objects ($\rm 1\,nm = 10^{-9}\, m$) behave as mobile negative charges confined by a fixed positively-charged background, the atomic ions. In many respects, this electron gas displays typical plasma…
Electromagnetic waves are an inherent part of all plasmas -- laboratory fusion plasmas or astrophysical plasmas. The conventional methods for studying properties of electromagnetic waves rely on discretization of Maxwell equations suitable…

Electrons can form a two-dimensional electron gas at metal surfaces, where lateral confinement leads to quantum-well states. Such states have been observed for highly itinerant electrons, but it remains an open question whether quantum-well…
Chaotic electromagnetic fields are common in many relativistic plasma environments, where they can be excited by instabilities on kinetic spatial scales. When strong electric fluctuations exist on sub-electron scales, they may lead to…
