\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
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.

\begin_layout Subsection
Single-particle scattering

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
\begin_inset Formula $\mezikuli{R^{<}}{R^{>}}{\vect 0}$
\end_inset
must satisfy the homogeneous vector Helmholtz equation together with the
transversality condition

Let us assume that the

driving field
\begin_inset Quotes erd

We also assume that the scatterer is made of optically linear materials
and hence reacts to the incident field in a linear manner.
This gives a linearity constraint between the expansion coefficients
\begin_inset Formula
\begin{equation}
\outcoefftlm{\tau}lm=\sum_{\tau'l'm'}T_{\tau lm}^{\tau'l'm'}\rcoefftlm{\tau'}{l'}{m'}\label{eq:T-matrix definition}

that the regular VSWF expansion coefficients on both sides of the equation
are typically non-negligible even for large multipole degree

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,

\end_inset

\[
\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),

\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

with
\begin_inset Formula $\rcoeffp{}=\rcoeffp{\square},\outcoeffp{}=\outcoeffp{\square}$
\end_inset
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
\begin_inset Formula $\rcoeffp p,\outcoeffp p$

, we get the many-particle expressions for extinction, scattering and absorption
cross sections suitable for numerical evaluation:
\begin_inset Formula
\begin{eqnarray}
\sigma_{\mathrm{ext}}\left(\uvec k,\hat{\vect E}_{0}\right) & = & -\frac{1}{\kappa^{2}\left\Vert \vect E_{0}\right\Vert ^{2}}\Re\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}}\rcoeffincp p^{\dagger}\outcoeffp p=-\frac{1}{2k^{2}\left\Vert \vect E_{0}\right\Vert ^{2}}\Re\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}}\rcoeffincp p^{\dagger}\left(\Tp p+\Tp p^{\dagger}\right)\rcoeffp p,\label{eq:extincion CS multi}\\
\sigma_{\mathrm{scat}}\left(\uvec k,\hat{\vect E}_{0}\right) & = & \frac{1}{\kappa^{2}\left\Vert \vect E_{0}\right\Vert ^{2}}\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}}\sum_{q\in\mathcal{P}}\outcoeffp p^{\dagger}\troprp pq\outcoeffp q\nonumber \\
& & =\frac{1}{\kappa^{2}\left\Vert \vect E_{0}\right\Vert ^{2}}\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}}\sum_{q\in\mathcal{P}}\rcoeffp p^{\dagger}\Tp p^{\dagger}\troprp pq\Tp q\rcoeffp q,\label{eq:scattering CS multi}\\
\sigma_{\mathrm{abs}}\left(\uvec k,\hat{\vect E}_{0}\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}}\troprp pq\outcoeffp q\right)\right).\nonumber \\

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 CommandInset ref

plural "false"

\end_inset
and net radiated power for single scatterer
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref
reference "eq:Power transport"
plural "false"
caps "false"
noprefix "false"
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula $\sigma_{\mathrm{abs}}=-\eta_{0}\eta P/2\left\Vert \vect E_{0}\right\Vert ^{2}$
\end_inset
.
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
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref
reference "eq:Power transport"
plural "false"
caps "false"
noprefix "false"
\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
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref
reference "eq:absorption CS multi"
plural "false"
caps "false"
noprefix "false"
\end_inset
, but using
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref
reference "eq:particle total incident field coefficient a"
plural "false"
caps "false"
noprefix "false"
\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 $\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}}\sum_{q\in\mathcal{P}\backslash\left\{ p\right\} }\outcoeffp p^{\dagger}\tropsp pq\outcoeffp q$
\end_inset
containing the singular spherical Bessel functions
\begin_inset Formula $y_{l}$
\end_inset
are imaginary,
\begin_inset Note Note

\begin_layout Plain Layout
TODO better formulation
\end_layout
\end_inset
so that actually
\begin_inset Formula $\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}}\Re\left(\sum_{q\in\mathcal{P}\backslash\left\{ p\right\} }\outcoeffp p^{\dagger}\tropsp pq\outcoeffp q+\outcoeffp p^{\dagger}\outcoeffp p\right)=\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}}\Re\left(\sum_{q\in\mathcal{P}\backslash\left\{ p\right\} }\outcoeffp p^{\dagger}\troprp pq\outcoeffp q+\outcoeffp p^{\dagger}\outcoeffp p\right)=\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}}\Re\left(\sum_{q\in\mathcal{P}\backslash\left\{ p\right\} }\outcoeffp p^{\dagger}\troprp pq\outcoeffp q+\outcoeffp p^{\dagger}\troprp pp\outcoeffp p\right)=\sum_{p\in\mathcal{P}}\sum_{q\in\mathcal{P}}\outcoeffp p^{\dagger}\troprp pq\outcoeffp q,$
\end_inset
proving that the expressions in
\begin_inset CommandInset ref

\end_inset
and
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
