Surface Impedance of Metals

Surface Impedance of Metals. Section 87. E = -(c/ we ) k x H where k = Ö( em )w /c. Inside and near a metal surface. Since E t and H t are continuous at the surface, they are related by the same expression just outside. Surface impedance. At low w.

  1. Surface Impedance of Metals Section 87

  2. E = -(c/we) k x H where k = Ö(em)w/c

  3. Inside and near a metal surface

  4. Since Et and Ht are continuous at the surface, they are related by the same expression just outside

  5. Surface impedance At low w

  6. Time averaged energy flux through the metal surface

  7. As frequency increases, penetration depth eventually becomes comparable to the electron mean free path. • The field is then too non-uniform to use the macroscopic description based on e. • Fields don’t satisfy the macroscopic Maxwell equations in the metal

  8. This is the only possible linear relation between the axial vector H and the polar vector E.

  9. As frequency increases further…

  10. Distance traveled by conduction electrons during one electromagnetic wave period Then we can neglect the spatial inhomogeneity of the field relative to the electron motion

  11. On the other hand…

  12. Superconductors
