Electromagnetic excitation in complex materials

The investigation of issues involving electromagnetic excitations is motivated by significant applications that include for example radiation from thin wires embedded in layered chiral media and can be extended to many materials issues involving multilayered anisotropic materials with varying conductive and magnetic properties. In this paper we establish relations connecting electromagnetic excitations with multilayered scatterers. In particular we develop a method to describe a multilayered chiral scatterer and apply it to a penetrable chiral sphere.
