- It is assumed that student completed basic curse of classical mechanics and optics.
- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is offered to students of any study field.
- Course objectives
- Introduction to modern theory of dispersion.
- Learning outcomes
- The student should be familiar with dispersion theory at a higher level than is common for graduates of a master's degree in physics.
- Syllabus
- 1. Basic definition of dielectric response; macroscopic Maxwell's equations
- 2. Local and non-local dielectric response; three fundamental properties of dielectric response: time-reversal symmetry, Kramers-Kronig consistency, and sum rules
- 3. Alternative description of non-local dielectric response
- 4. Dielectric response tensor symmetry - isotropic and anisotropic media; decomposition of the dielectric response into symmetric and antisymmetric parts
- 5. Plane waves in homogeneous media
- 6. Classical model of dielectric response
- 7. Quantum mechanical description and its realtion with classical models
- Literature
- recommended literature
