|
||
The basic idea of MSTMM is quite simple: the driving electromagnetic field
|
||
incident onto a scatterer is expanded into a vector spherical wavefunction
|
||
(VSWF) basis in which the single scattering problem is solved, and the
|
||
scattered field is then re-expanded into VSWFs centered at the other scatterers.
|
||
Repeating the same procedure with all (pairs of) scatterers yields a set
|
||
of linear equations, solution of which gives the coefficients of the scattered
|
||
field in the VSWF bases.
|
||
Once these coefficients have been found, one can evaluate various quantities
|
||
related to the scattering (such as cross sections or the scattered fields)
|
||
quite easily.
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
The expressions appearing in the re-expansions are fairly complicated, and
|
||
the implementation of MSTMM is extremely error-prone also due to the various
|
||
conventions used in the literature.
|
||
Therefore although we do not re-derive from scratch the expressions that
|
||
can be found elsewhere in literature, for reader's reference we always
|
||
state them explicitly in our convention.

|
||
In order to define the basic concepts, let us first consider the case of
|
||
electromagnetic (EM) radiation scattered by a single particle.
|
||
We assume that the scatterer lies inside a closed ball
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\closedball{R^{<}}{\vect 0}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
of radius
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $R^{<}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
and center in the origin of the coordinate system (which can be chosen
|
||
that way; the natural choice of
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\closedball{R^{<}}{\vect 0}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
is the circumscribed ball of the scatterer) and that there exists a larger
|
||
open cocentric ball
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\openball{R^{>}}{\vect 0}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
, such that the (non-empty) spherical shell
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\mezikuli{R^{<}}{R^{>}}{\vect 0}=\openball{R^{>}}{\vect 0}\setminus\closedball{R^{<}}{\vect 0}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
is filled with a homogeneous isotropic medium with relative electric permittivi
|
||
ty
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\epsilon(\vect r,\omega)=\epsbg(\omega)$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
and magnetic permeability
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\mu(\vect r,\omega)=\mubg(\omega)$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
, and that the whole system is linear, i.e.
|
||
the material properties of neither the medium nor the scatterer depend
|
||
on field intensities.
|
||
Under these assumptions, the EM fields
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\vect{\Psi}=\vect E,\vect H$

||
\end_inset

|
||
in
|

transversality condition

The truncation degree can vary for different scatterers (e.g.

\end{align*}
|

|

\end_inset
|

|

but this form is less suitable for numerical calculations due to the fact

that the regular VSWF expansion coefficients on both sides of the equation

are typically non-negligible even for large multipole degree

\begin_inset Formula $l$

derives only the extinction cross section formula.
|
||
Let us re-derive it together with the many-particle scattering and absorption
|
||
cross sections.
|
||
First, let us take a ball containing all the scatterers at once,
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\openball R{\vect r_{\square}}\supset\bigcup_{p\in\mathcal{P}}\closedball{R_{p}}{\vect r_{p}}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
Outside
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\openball R{\vect r_{\square}}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
, we can describe the EM fields as if there was only a single scatterer,
|
||
\begin_inset Formula
|
||
\[
|
||
\vect E\left(\vect r\right)=\sum_{\tau,l,m}\left(\rcoeffptlm{\square}{\tau}lm\vswfrtlm{\tau}lm\left(\kappa\left(\vect r-\vect r_{\square}\right)\right)+\outcoeffptlm{\square}{\tau}lm\vswfouttlm{\tau}lm\left(\kappa\left(\vect r-\vect r_{\square}\right)\right)\right),
|
||
\]
|
||
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
where
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\rcoeffp{\square},\outcoeffp{\square}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
are the vectors of VSWF expansion coefficients of the incident and total
|
||
scattered fields, respectively, at origin
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\vect r_{\square}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
In principle, one could evaluate
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\outcoeffp{\square}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
using the translation operators and use the single-scatterer formulae

||

to obtain the cross sections.
|

However, this is not suitable for numerical evaluation with truncation
|
||
in multipole degree; hence we need to express them in terms of particle-wise
|

expansions

An alternative approach to derive the absorption cross section is via a

power transport argument.

Note the direct proportionality between absorption cross section

\begin_inset Formula $\sigma_{\mathrm{abs}}=-\eta_{0}\eta P/2\left\Vert \vect E_{0}\right\Vert ^{2}$

.
|

In the many-particle setup (with non-lossy background medium, so that only
|
||
the particles absorb), the total absorbed power is equal to the sum of
|
||
absorbed powers on each particle,
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $-P=\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}}-P_{p}$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
Using the power transport formula

||

|
||
|

\end_inset
|
||
|
||
particle-wise gives
|
||
\begin_inset Formula
|
||
\begin{equation}
|
||
\sigma_{\mathrm{abs}}\left(\uvec k\right)=-\frac{1}{\kappa^{2}\left\Vert \vect E_{0}\right\Vert ^{2}}\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}}\left(\Re\left(\rcoeffp p^{\dagger}\outcoeffp p\right)+\left\Vert \outcoeffp p\right\Vert ^{2}\right)\label{eq:absorption CS multi alternative}
|

\end{equation}
|

\end_inset
|

which seems different from

|

\end_inset
|

, we can rewrite it as
|
||
\begin_inset Formula
|
||
\begin{align*}
|
||
\sigma_{\mathrm{abs}}\left(\uvec k\right) & =-\frac{1}{\kappa^{2}\left\Vert \vect E_{0}\right\Vert ^{2}}\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}}\Re\left(\outcoeffp p^{\dagger}\left(\rcoeffp p+\outcoeffp p\right)\right)\\

& =-\frac{1}{\kappa^{2}\left\Vert \vect E_{0}\right\Vert ^{2}}\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}}\Re\left(\outcoeffp p^{\dagger}\left(\rcoeffincp p+\sum_{q\in\mathcal{P}\backslash\left\{ p\right\} }\tropsp pq\outcoeffp q+\outcoeffp p\right)\right).
|

\end{align*}
|
||
|

\end_inset
|
||
|

It is easy to show that all the terms of
|

\begin_inset Formula $\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}}\sum_{q\in\mathcal{P}\backslash\left\{ p\right\} }\outcoeffp p^{\dagger}\tropsp pq\outcoeffp q$
