Hertz potentials in Boys-Post isotropic chiral media

  • 1. Institut Henri Poincare, 86 Bis Route de Croissy, 78110 Le Vesinet (France)

Description

Hertz potentials are used in chiral media endowed with Boys-Post's constitutive relations to get the solutions of Maxwell's equations for the electromagnetic field. We prove that Hertz potentials and (B, E) fields have the same expressions as in achiral media for the same situations and that only (D, H) fields depend on chirality
