Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Computational physics
  • Optical properties of matter

Background:

  • Accurate modeling of light scattering by particle clusters is crucial in various scientific fields.
  • Existing methods, like the superposition T-matrix scheme, have limitations in handling large or complex particle aggregates.
  • Developing complementary methods is essential for expanding the scope of scattering calculations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the Foldy-Lax multiple-scattering equations as a complementary method for calculating the phase function and degree of linear polarization of particle clusters.
  • To compare the Foldy-Lax approach with the superposition T-matrix scheme for accuracy and computational feasibility.

Main Methods:

  • The study employed the Foldy-Lax multiple-scattering equations in matrix form.

  • Simulations involved clusters of spherical particles with size parameters near unity, aggregated via generalized Brownian motion.
  • Results were verified against the superposition T-matrix scheme.

    • Main Results:

    • The Foldy-Lax equations show suitability for analyzing particle clusters, offering an alternative to the superposition T-matrix scheme.
    • This method allows for an increase in the number of constituents beyond the benchmark method's limitations with a minor reduction in accuracy.
    • Increasing constituent size or introducing nonsphericity leads to numerical noise and significant computational demands, necessitating accuracy trade-offs.

    Conclusions:

    • The Foldy-Lax multiple-scattering equations provide a valuable complementary approach for studying light scattering from particle clusters.
    • The method's scalability for larger clusters is a significant advantage, though computational costs increase with particle complexity.
    • Careful consideration of accuracy versus computational effort is required when dealing with larger, nonspherical, or larger-sized constituent particles.
