\begin_layout Standard
|
||
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
|
||
However, 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, we always state them explicitly in
|
||
our convention.

\end_layout
|

|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
In order to define the basic concepts, let us first consider the case of
|
||
EM radiation scattered by a single particle.
|
||
We assume that the scatterer lies inside a closed sphere
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\particle$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
, the space outside this volume
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\medium$
|
||
\end_inset
|
||
|
||
is filled with an homogeneous isotropic medium with relative electric permittiv
|
||
ity
|
||
\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
|
||
\begin_inset Formula $\medium$

||

|
||
|
||
must satisfy the homogeneous vector Helmholtz equation together with the
|
||
transversality condition

||
\begin_inset Formula

||
\begin{equation}

||
\left(\nabla^{2}+k^{2}\right)\Psi\left(\vect r,\vect{\omega}\right)=0,\quad\nabla\cdot\vect{\Psi}\left(\vect r,\vect{\omega}\right)=0\label{eq:Helmholtz eq}

The convention for VSWFs used here is the same as in [Kristensson 2014];

over other conventions used elsewhere in literature, it has several fundamental

in eq.
