Abstract
We obtain the impedance boundary condition for the electromagnetic field of a
two-dimensional curved boundary between vacuum and a metal, as an expansion
in powers of d(w)
|(1/Rmin) - (1/Rmax)|,
where d(w) is the skin depth
of the metal at the frequency w of
the electromagnetic field and Rmin, Rmax
are the extremal radii of curvature of the surface at the point where the impedance
is calculated. The first two terms of this expansion are given and the conditions
under which the result is valid are discussed.
