We consider time-harmonic electromagnetic wave equations in composites of a dispersive material surrounded by a classical material. In certain frequency ranges this leads to sign-changing permittivity and/or permeability. Previously meshing…
We show that electromagnetic constitutive relations of materials, defined by a scalar permittivity, $\varepsilon$, and permeability, $\mu$, are the same for all inertial observers provided that $\varepsilon\mu = 1$ is satisfied. To…

Magnetic materials host a wealth of nonlinear dynamics, textures, and topological defects. This is possible due to the competition between strong nonlinearity and dispersion that act at the atomic scale as well as long-range interactions.…
