Kikuo Cho: 3 books

This book gives a theoretical description of linear and nonlinear optical responses of matter with special emphasis on the microscopic and ‘nonlocal’ nature of resonant response. It will have a tremendous influence on modern device techniques, as it deals with frontier research in response theory.

Throughout my whole career including student time I have had a feeling that leaning and teaching electromagnetism, especially macroscopic Maxwell equations (M-eqs) is dif?cult. In order to make a good use of these equations, it seemed necessary to be able to use certain empirical knowledges and model-dependent...

This book discusses the electromagnetic response function of matter, providing a logically more complete form of macroscopic Maxwell equations than the conventional literature. It shows that various problems inherent to the conventional macroscopic Maxwell equations are solved by the first-principles...
