Analysis of radiative scattering for multiple sphere configurations
The recent analysis is concerned with the radiative scattering behaviour of neighbouring sphere particles, i.e. with situations, where the individual particles, while spherical in shape, are so close together that the ``isolated sphere assumption inherent in most investigations is questionable. (An example given explicitly here is a close-packed tetrahedral cluster of four identical spheres.) However, the basic framework for the multiple sphere scattering problem is the Lorenz-Mie theory for an isolated sphere. The expressions for the incident, scattered, and internal electric fields satisfying Maxwell's wave equations are given as series including vector spherical harmonics, expressed by spherical Bessel functions and associated Legendre functions. The fields for multiple-sphere scattering are now taken to be the superposition of scattered waves originating from each sphere in the configuration. Thus, the method presented here is a further refinement of the superposition solution. To apply the boundary conditions it is necessary to transform the harmonics written about one sphere into harmonics about another sphere, and this transform (solid translation and rotation of coordinates) is accomplished through addition theorems. Simple recurrence relations allow to obtain the transition coefficients by an appropriate linear equation solution technique. Special attempt is given to an efficient implementation of the method, particularly in situations where the memory requirements become excessive by increasing size and number of spheres in the ensemble.
