Variational minimizing solutions for the 2-fixed center problems

A time-harmonic plane electromagnetic wave is scattered by a chiral body in a chiral environment. The body is either a perfect conductor, or a dielectric, or a scatterer with an impedance surface. Using the Huygens’s principle, we construct in closed forms both the left-circularly polarized and rightcircularly polarized electric far field patterns for such chiral media. We prove reciprocity relations and general scattering theorems for chiral materials which are a generalization of those obtained by Twersky for achiral electromagnetic scattering. In the special case when the directions of incidence and observation are the same we prove the associated forward scattering theorems.  2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
