註釋"This text presents basic aspects and underlying principles of the classical atomistic theory: the electric, magnetic and optical properties of matters as formulated by H.A. Lorentz. Taking the theory one logical step further, Rosenfeld also investigates the atomic structure of matter to determine why some substances conduct electricity well or become strongly magnetic, while others do not. A brief summary of the discoveries that have led to the modern view of the electrical constitution of atoms begins the book. Subsequent chapters make a careful derivation of Maxwell's equations in matter by identifying electromagnetic field averages, and averages of charge and current density. Systems of charged particles, the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian equations and Larmor's theorem are discussed. Diamagnetism, paramagnetism and ferromagnetism are investigated in terms of the behavior of atoms in an external magnetic field. Rosenfeld next treats the theories of electric polarization and of optical dispersion, with emphasis on radiation damping, scattering of light and critical opalescence. The final chapter discusses the rigorous theory of dispersion."- Publisher.
