Electromagnetic Theory and Plasmonics for Engineers

Download or read book Electromagnetic Theory and Plasmonics for Engineers written by Liudmila Nickelson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-24 with total page 763 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the theory of electromagnetic (EM) waves for upper undergraduate, graduate and PhD-level students in engineering. It focuses on physics and microwave theory based on Maxwell’s equations and the boundary conditions important for studying the operation of waveguides and resonators in a wide frequency range, namely, from approx. 10**9 to 10**16 hertz. The author also highlights various current topics in EM field theory, such as plasmonic (comprising a noble metal) waveguides and analyses of attenuations by filled waveguide dielectrics or semiconductors and also by conducting waveguide walls. Featuring a wide variety of illustrations, the book presents the calculated and schematic distributions of EM fields and currents in waveguides and resonators. Further, test questions are presented at the end of each chapter.
