What is a photon's speed inside a dieletric?
We know that EM waves are slowed down in a dielectric. But at what speed does the photons that make up the wave travel?
Do they always travel at the speed $c$, but colliding/being absorbed and ...

Lorentz invariance of a frequency- and wavelength- dependent dielectric tensor
Suppose we have a material described by a dielectric tensor $\bar{\epsilon}$. In frequency domain, this tensor depends on the wave frequency $\omega$ and the wave vector $\vec{k}$.
Clearly not all ...

Using Relaxation Method to Model Negative Dielectrics in an electric field?
How can you use the relaxation method to model negative dielectrics?
The relaxation method is usually used to model electrostatics problems but negative dielectrics are only see in dynamic systems.
