The helicity or chirality of scattered light is strongly linked to the dual symmetry of the scatterer. The latter depends on chiral materials or on scatterers which are not superimposable with their mirror image. This inherently yields…

Several recent works have emphasized the role of spatial dispersion in wire media, and demonstrated that arrays of parallel metallic wires may behave very differently from a uniaxial local material with negative permittivity. Here, we…

Scattering of electromagnetic (EM) waves by many small particles (bodies) embedded in a homogeneous medium is studied. Physical properties of the particles are described by their boundary impedances. The limiting equation is obtained for…
