Emphasizing the metamaterial behavior of the Mie scattering coefficients and Debye series for negative refractive index spherical particles

Extracting Metamaterial Properties of Negative-Index and Plasmonic scatterers from the Mie Coefficients

“…Due to a typo in a previous work (which nonetheless did not change the results and conclusions), the numerator in (9) is slightly different from the one found in equation (8) of [15].…”

“…Even if a direct physical interpretation cannot be readily extracted from such plots, expressing each MC as a Debye series could furnish interesting conclusions and insights for the equivalent series of reflection/refractions of a wave field at the surface of a NRI particle [15]. …”

“…This simply means that splitting MCs into two additive terms is equivalent to doing the same with (E,H) and, therefore, we shall focus our analysis only on MCs. According to one of our previous works, they can be compactly written, for a PRI spherical scatterer, as [15] …”

Optical forces in lossless arbitrary refractive index optical trapping and micromanipulation

“…The Mie scattering coefficients (MSCs) a n and b n are written, for arbitrary permittivities and permeabilities, as [34] …”

“…We have published some seminal works, for example, involving optical torques and the Debye series for NRI particles embedded on conventional PRI host media [25,34].…”
