Physical explanation of the non-analyticities in the ising model in the vicinity of zero ext...

In the Ising model when $T<T_C$ with $T_C$ being the Curie temperature, there is a finite jump of the mean magnetization per spin, $m$, as the external field crosses $0$ (goes from negative values to …

Polar molecule in external electric field - problem with the Fourier transform

I have a problem where I am considering a polar molecule with dipole vector $\vec{p}$ moving in a plane and exposed to an electric field, so that the interaction potential is: \begin{equation}\tag{1} …

Poynting vector for a plane wave in a medium with relative permittivity $\varepsilon_r$

The time-averaged Poynting vector can be written: $$\tag{1} \langle \boldsymbol{S}(\boldsymbol{r})\rangle=\frac{1}{2} \operatorname{Re}\left\{\boldsymbol{E}(\boldsymbol{r}) \times \boldsymbol{H}^{*}(\ …
