Vagner I.D., Lembrikov B.I., Wyder P. Electrodynamics of Magnetoactive Media

Springer, 2004. — 435 p. — (Solid-State Sciences 135). — ISBN: 3540436944.The main part of the book describes the behaviour of a charged particle in an electromagnetic field, and the electrodynamics of plasmas, liquid crystals and superconductors. These very different subjects have an important common feature, namely the fundamental role played by the magnetic field. Plasmas, liquid crystals and superconductors can be considered as magnetoactive media, because their electromagnetic characteristics are strongly affected by an external magnetic field.Fundamentals of Electrodynamics
