Field behavior near surface discontinuities of the gyrotropic medium

The local electromagnetic field behavior in the vicinity of wedge-like homogeneous, gyrotropically anisotropic structures is considered. The theoretical analysis is based on the static theory involving a rigorous solution of the field boundary-value problem leading to a transcendental equation explicitly dependent on the gyrotropic medium parameters as well as the opening angle of the wedge. The numerical solution to this equation is obtained for the power to which the radial distance governing the electromagnetic field behavior close to the surface discontinuity is raised, and results for some gyrotropic media are presented. It is found that the electromagnetic field exhibits singular properties in the vicinity of surface discontinuities
