Diffraction of plane electromagnetic waves by a wedge with perfect mixed anisotropic conductivity sides in a chiral medium

Abstract

The Sommerfeld-Malyuzhinets integral method is used to solve the problem of the diffraction of plane circlepolarized electromagnetic waves normally incident on the edge of a wedge with the sides possessing perfect mixed anisotropic conductivity, which is immersed in an isotropic chiral medium.

Diffraction of plane Beltrami waves by a wedge with nonidentical sides showing mixed anisotropic conduction immersed in a chiral medium

“…The doubled period of the function with respect to the corresponding expression for a problem with identical boundary conditions [5] is in accordance with the note about the need to use ramified solutions of doubled multiplicity in a problem with mixed boundary conditions (see Ref. 23 …”

“…Previously [5] variants were considered where the anisotropy directions for both sides were identical: Both directions were either parallel or perpendicular to the edge of the wedge. In this work, we consider a mixed variant where the conduction lines are combined on the sides so that they are mutually orthogonal.…”
