Green function method for calculating properties of static magnetic fields

Given complete information about the normal component of a magnetic field i n a plane, it is possible to directly calculate all aspects of the field at any point in a source-free, homogeneous volume above that plane. The magne tic scalar potential, the magnetic field, and its gradient have direct repr esentations as integrals of the boundary data. This paper provides a Green function method for this problem, as well as examples of such calculations. (C) 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
