mnpbem-mie 0.1.0

Mie and Rayleigh scattering approximations for spherical particles.

mnpbem-mie

mnpbem-mie provides Rayleigh-limit scattering formulas for small spherical particles.

Implemented Formulations

Polarizability:

$$ \alpha = 4\pi a^3\frac{\varepsilon_p-\varepsilon_m}{\varepsilon_p+2\varepsilon_m} $$

Wave number in medium:

$$ k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}\sqrt{\varepsilon_m} $$

Cross sections:

$$ C_{\mathrm{ext}} = k,\mathrm{Im}(\alpha),\quad C_{\mathrm{sca}} = \frac{|k|^4}{6\pi}|\alpha|^2,\quad C_{\mathrm{abs}} = C_{\mathrm{ext}}-C_{\mathrm{sca}} $$
