Magnetic permeability in Fresnel’s equation

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Magnetic permeabilities derived for infinite, periodic media are used in the Fresnel equation to calculate the reflection from corresponding semi-infinite media. By comparison to finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations, we find that the Fresnel equation gives accurate results for 2D metamaterials which mimic natural magnetism, in a frequency range where the magnetic moment density dominates the O(k2) part of the total Landau–Lifshitz permittivity. For a 1D layered structure, or for large frequencies, the correspondence is poor. We also demonstrate that even if a medium is described accurately by a local permittivity and permeability, the Fresnel equation is not necessarily valid.
