Abstract
One cannot find 3D subwavelength details of a ME scatterer retrieved from far-field data. The main point is that there are no solutions of Maxwell’s equations with two local sources, electric and magnetic currents, which are supposedly linked by electromagnetic forces. The “first-principle”, “microscopic-scale” ME effect of a structure composed by “glued” pairs of electric and magnetic dipoles raise questions on the ways of local probing the dynamic ME parameters, since the near field structure of such a probe should violate both the spatial and temporal inversion symmetries. When the basic concepts of bianisotropy are analyzed from the EM far-field characteristics, we just only have the far-field "illusion of bianisotropy". Since the observed effects of ME coupling are not associated with the near-field manipulation properties caused by intrinsic magnetoelectricity, the question arises whether ME point scatterers of electromagnetic radiation really exist.
