It is pointed, that effects of refraction of electromagnetic radiation in the medium, formed by the magnetized vacuum, become essential already for relatively soft photons, not hard enough to create an electron-positron pair, including…

Metamaterials offer a powerful way to manipulate a variety of physical fields ranging from wave fields (electromagnetic field, acoustic field, elastic wave, etc.), static fields (static magnetic field, static electric field) to diffusive…
The diffraction pattern of a single non-periodic compact object, such as a molecule, is continuous and is proportional to the square modulus of the Fourier transform of that object. When arrayed in a crystal, the coherent sum of the…
Any discontinuity of constitutive parameters along a wave propagation path causes scattering. For a plane wave incident onto a flat dielectric slab, reflection becomes strongly dependent on the incident angle as the electrical thickness…

It is shown that a photoelectron, on being emitted from a conducting solid, suffers a substantial energy change due to ohmic losses. Almost all of this energy loss takes place after the electron leaves the solid. These losses may be…
