Scattering forces on magneto-dielectric particles and the electromagnetic momentum density
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper we analyze the non-conservative forces on magneto-dielectric particles in special configurations where the scattering force is not proportional to the average value of the Poynting vector. Based on these results, we revisit the concept of electromagnetic momentum density.
