How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

A Hertz radiator’s Sommerfeld boundary value problem is considered for the case when its electric moment is directed horizontally relative to the plane interface between two media with different values of magnetic permeability. An integral representation of the exact expression for the Hertz potential, which generalizes the classical solution for non-magnetic media, both in cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems, is obtained. The corresponding expressions for the scattered wave fields are given in the form of Sommerfeld integrals. It is shown that the potential components can be represented as the sum of an infinite series in powers of the Green function.
