The book Advanced Electrodynamics of Material Media, authored by Dr. Babak Shokri, professor at the Faculty of Physics, Shahid Beheshti University, has been published.
This book was released for the first time in 2024 (1403 SH), in a 828-page volume, published in royal octavo size by Shahid Beheshti University Press, and is available for purchase at a price of 4,970,000 IRR.
Macroscopic electrodynamics has extensive applications in statistical physics, condensed matter physics, astrophysics, geophysics, the theory of electromagnetic wave propagation, the interaction of charged particles with various media, and many other scientific fields. Its industrial and technological applications are virtually limitless, and understanding these applications requires a solid grasp of electrodynamic phenomena in material media.
In Advanced Electrodynamics of Material Media, the author adopts a unique approach to cover the fundamental concepts of electrodynamics in material media across thirteen chapters. Since familiarity with Maxwell’s equations and electromagnetic phenomena is essential for studying electrodynamics in material media, the first three chapters focus on fundamental concepts such as Maxwell’s equations, the mechanics of charged particles, and the radiation and scattering of electromagnetic waves in vacuum. The subsequent chapters delve into electrostatics and magnetostatics in materials, quasi-static electromagnetic phenomena, linear harmonic waves in dispersive electrodynamic systems, Maxwell’s equations in material media, wave propagation in materials, coherence, waves in random, nonlinear, and non-equilibrium media, and finally, electromagnetic oscillations in finite media and the interaction of charged particles with equilibrium and non-equilibrium environments.
This book combines textbook content with a large collection of problems and numerous examples designed to enhance understanding. The theoretical material comprises a small portion of each chapter, focusing on fundamental principles, core equations, and relationships between physical quantities. Most mathematical derivations are embedded within the examples and are accompanied by detailed solutions. As such, this book serves as a practical and valuable resource for students of physics, photonics, plasma engineering, and electrical engineering.
Students and interested readers can purchase the book at the Sales Office of the Scientific Publications Center of Shahid Beheshti University, located on the ground floor of the Information Technology (IT) Building, or order it online via the center’s website. The digital version of the book is also available through Fidibo and Taghche platforms.
