Creating Materials with a Desired Refraction Coefficient

Description

Creating Materials with a Desired Refraction Coefficient, Second Edition, provides a recipe for creating materials with a desired refraction coefficient, and the many-body wave scattering problem for many small impedance bodies. The physical assumptions make the multiple scattering effects essential. Based on this theory, a recipe for creating materials with a desired refraction coefficient is given. Technological problems are formulated which, when solved, make the theory practically applicable. The Importance of of producing a small particle with a desired boundary impedance is emphasized, and inverse scattering with non-over-determined scattering data is considered. This new edition will include two new chapters on inverse problem of finding reflection coefficient from scattering data and on symmetry properties of scattering theory. Key Features Presents a method for creating materials with a desired refraction coefficient Includes a method for creating wave-focusing materials Discusses inverse problem of finding the potential from the non-over-determined scattering data Provides an overview of symmetry properties in scattering theory PRELIMS.pdf Preface References Author biography Alexander G Ramm CH001.pdf Chapter 1 Introduction References CH002.pdf Chapter 2 Wave scattering by many small impedance particles 2.1 Scalar wave scattering by one small body of an arbitrary shape 2.1.1 Impedance bodies 2.1.2 Acoustically soft bodies (the Dirichlet boundary condition) 2.1.3 Acoustically hard bodies (the Neumann boundary condition) 2.1.4 The interface (transmission) boundary condition 2.1.5 Summary of the results 2.2 Scalar wave scattering by many small bodies of an arbitrary shape 2.2.1 Impedance bodies 2.2.2 The Dirichlet boundary condition 2.2.3 The Neumann boundary condition 2.2.4 The transmission boundary condition 2.2.5 Wave scattering in an inhomogeneous medium 2.2.6 Summary of the results References CH003.pdf Chapter 3 Creating materials with a desired refraction coefficient 3.1 Scalar wave scattering.
