Electrodynamics in cylindrical symmetry in the magnetic plasma state

Abstract

Excited states in magnetic structures of the so-called spin-ices and in some artificial magnetic materials present a behaviour as being a magnetic neutral plasma. In this state the electromagnetic waves in confined systems (waveguides) filled with materials with magnetic charges are able to transmit information and energy. In the natural spin-ices, the difficulty is the very low temperature for which these magnetic entities appear, whose phenomenology under the electromagnetic interaction is that of solids containing magnetic charges. However, similar behaviour may be present in other compounds at higher temperatures, even at room temperature and they are named artificial spin-ice compounds. This analysis is addressed to obtain theoretical results about magnetic responses and frequency-dependent magnetricity. The key physical magnitudes are the plasmon frequency () which is related to the cut-off frequency in a wave guide and the effective inertial masses () of these magnetic charges. All properties of the electromagnetic propagation in these compounds with effective magnetic monopoles depend on and m. This is carried out including the dissipative forces among magnetic charges which give new characteristic features to the electromagnetic propagation. The main goal of this work is the analysis of these electromagnetic properties in order to find possible circuital applications of these materials to be utilized by devices.
