The theory of Aden and Kerker is used to compute the resonant response of large layered spheres to an incident linearly polarized plane wave. Cases considered include hollow spheres and those with transparent and absorbing cores whose diameters range from zero up to that of the particle. Both core and layer resonances are studied. The results are presented as partial wave amplitudes, energy densities, and scattered light intensities for a typical resonant mode, TE(39).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
