Nonlinear reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves by moving plasmas
(1971)Based on the covariance principle of Maxwell's equations and phase-invariance principle (derived from the special theory of relativity), expressions for the nonlinear reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves ... -
