A list of interactive MS Windows executables of my light scattering programs

axspartcl determines the scattering properties of single gold nanoparticles of different shapes (sphere, spheroid, cylinder/rod/pillar, Chebyshev particle) in air.

caxsrefl incorporates the lattice sums within a photonic LKKR code for the calculation of reflection, transmission and absorption (RTA) of an electromagnetic plane wave incident on a square array of finite length cylinders arranged on a homogeneous slab of finite thickness.

chew calculates the total radiated power and the power loss due to Ohmic losses of an electric dipole interacting woth a coated SiO2@X@SiO2 sphere in water. Refractive index of SiO2 is taken to be 1.45, that of water 1.33, and that of X you can supply yourself. For an interactive Windows executable generated from chewfs, see an on-line Appendix A of my Chem. Phys. 117(1), 1-15 (2005).

crmnt calculates various approximate decay rates of a dipole in a proximity of a sphere as discussed in my article on Non-radiative decay of a dipole emitter close to a metallic nanoparticle: Importance of higher-order multipole contributions,
Opt. Commun. 283(10), 2277-2287 (2010). [arXiv:0909.4878]

effe calculates the effective medium properties of a composite of coated Au@SiO2 spheres in air with volume fraction of 34%. The code and executable are to be used for wavelengths typically at least one order of magnitude longer than the sphere radius.

rta1in2k calculates reflection, transmission, and absorption (RTA) off a finite 2D photonic crystal stack of silver rods.

sphere calculates the scattering off a single SiO2@Au coated sphere, or nanoshell, in air. Refractive index of SiO2 in the sphere core was taken to be 1.45.

In order for the executable to run, it is required that you download material data files agc.dat.txt, Audat.dat.txt and Aumdat.dat.txt (for security reasons, *.dat files cannot be posted; therefore the additional *.txt extension), which you have to save as agc.dat, Audat.dat, and Aumdat.dat, respectively, in the same directory as the executables.
