Analysis of Recent Interpretations of the Abraham-Minkowski Problem

Abstract

The 100-year-long problem concerning the correct form of the electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor in continuous media (usually called the Abraham-Minkowski problem) continues to attract interest. We provide a critical analysis of interpretations presented in the literature on this topic recently, in two cases - one real experiment on radiation pressure A. Kundu et al., Scient. Reports 7, 42538 (2017), and one computer experiment M. Partanen et al., Phys. Rev. A 95, 063850 (2017).
