Abstract
We show that using the Landau–Lifshitz form of the constitutive equations to construct electrodynamics of inhomogeneous nonabsorbing media with nonlocality of optical response leads to previously unknown intrinsic symmetry relations of the spatially dependent tensors of local and nonlocal optical susceptibilities guaranteeing that the energy conservation law is fulfilled. The discovered relations drastically differ from the analogous relations for homogeneous spatially dispersive media and make it possible to correctly write down the balance equation for the energy conservation law in inhomogeneous media with nonlocality of optical response without the previously accepted artificial addition of any new terms to the classical constitutive equations suggested by Landau and Lifshitz.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
