Acoustic versus electromagnetic field theory: scalar, vector, spinor representations and the emergence of acoustic spin

L Burns, KY Bliokh, F Nori, J Dressel - New Journal of Physics, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We construct a novel Lagrangian representation of acoustic field theory that describes the
local vector properties of longitudinal (curl-free) acoustic fields. In particular, this approach …

Momentum, angular momentum, and spin of waves in an isotropic collisionless plasma

KY Bliokh, YP Bliokh - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
