TL;DR: In this article, a model for a chiral material in which both the permittivity and permeability are equal to zero is discussed, referred by us as a "chiral nihility".
Abstract: A model for a chiral material in which both the permittivity and permeability are equal to zero is discussed. Such a material is referred by us as a "chiral nihility". It is shown that this exotic material can be realized as a mixture of small helical inclusions. Wave solutions and energy in such a medium are analyzed. It is shown that an extraordinary wave in chiral nihility is a backward wave. Wave reflection and refraction on a chiral nihility interface are also considered. It is shown that a linearly polarized wave normally incident onto this interface produces a wave of "standing phase" and the same wave in the case of oblique incidence causes two refracted waves, one of them with an anomalous refraction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors interpreted the PEMC medium in terms of the classical Gibbsian vectors as a bi-isotropic medium with infinite values for its four medium parameters.
Abstract: In differential-form representation, the Maxwell equations are represented by simple differential relations between the electromagnetic two-forms and source three-forms while the electromagnetic medium is defined through a constitutive relation between the two-forms. The simplest of such relations expresses the electromagnetic two-forms as scalar multiples of one another. Because of its strange properties, the corresponding medium has been considered as nonphysical. In this study such a medium is interpreted in terms of the classical Gibbsian vectors as a bi-isotropic medium with infinite values for its four medium parameters. It is shown that the medium is a generalization of both PEC (perfect electric conductor) and PMC (perfect magnetic conductor) media, with similar properties. This is why the medium is labeled as PEMC (perfect electromagnetic conductor). Defining a certain class of duality transformations, PEMC medium can be transformed to PEC or PMC media. As an application, plane-wave reflection fr...

TL;DR: There are many boundary integral formulations for the problem of electromagnetic scattering from and transmission into a homogeneous material body as discussed by the authors, and the only one which gives a unique solution at all frequencies is those which involve both electric and magnetic equivalent currents and satisfy boundary conditions on both tangential E and tangential H.
Abstract: There are many boundary integral formulations for the problem of electromagnetic scattering from and transmission into a homogeneous material body. The only formulations which give a unique solution at all frequencies are those which involve both electric and magnetic equivalent currents, and satisfy boundary conditions on both tangential E and tangential H. Formulations which involve only electric (or magnetic) equivalent currents, and those which involve boundary conditions on only tangential E (or tangential H) are singular at frequencies corresponding to the resonant frequencies of a resonator formed by a perfect conductor covering the surface of the body and filled with the material exterior to the body in the original problem.

TL;DR: The Finite Integration Technique (FIT) is a consistent discretization scheme for Maxwell's equations in their integral form as mentioned in this paper, which can be used for efficient numerical simulations on modern computers.
Abstract: The Finite Integration Technique (FIT) is a consistent discretization scheme for Maxwell's equations in their integral form. The resulting matrix equations of the discretized fields can be used for efficient numerical simulations on modern computers. In addition, the basic algebraic properties of this discrete electromagnetic field theory allow to analytically and algebraically prove conservation properties with respect to energy and charge of the discrete formulation and gives an explanation of the stability properties of numerical time domain formulations.

TL;DR: In this article, a multivariate K-distribution is proposed to model the statistics of fully polarimetric radar data from earth terrain with polarizations HH, HV, VH, and VV.
Abstract: A multivariate K-distribution is proposed to model the statistics of fully polarimetric radar data from earth terrain with polarizations HH, HV, VH, and VV. In this approach, correlated polarizations of radar signals, as characterized by a covariance matrix, are treated as the sum of N n-dimensional random vectors; N obeys the negative binomial distribution with a parameter alpha and mean N-bar. Subsequently, an n-dimensional K-distribution, with either zero or nonzero mean, is developed in the limit of infinite N-bar or illuminated area. The probability density function (PDF) of the K-distributed vector normalized by its Euclidean norm is independent of the parameter alpha and is the same as that derived from a zero-mean Gaussian-distributed random vector.
