Polarizabilities of nonreciprocal bi-anisotropic particles

Abstract

This thesis studies two known canonical particles introduced as possible realizations of nonreciprocal bi-anisotropic particles. They are called Tellegen-omega and moving-chiral. For each particle, firstly all the dipolar polarizabilities (electric, magneto-electric, electro-magnetic, and magnetic) are analytically derived by considering a uniform electric or magnetic field in the plane of the particle as the exciting fields. Furthermore, at the second step, the analytical results are compared to the numerical ones. Finally, appropriate measurement setups are suggested which make us able to measure and extract experimentally the electro-magnetic and magneto-electric polarizabilities.
