We review the use of the t-matrix description of scattering, or the t-matrix method, for the calculation of optical forces and torques, especially for the computational modelling of optical tweezers. We consider both simple particles such as homogeneous isotropic spheres, spherical shells, spheroids, and so on, and complex particles, including anisotropic particles, inhomogenous particles, and geometrically complex particles.

详细信息
Using the t-matrix approach electromagnetic scattering by a biaxial anisotropic non-axisymmetric particle is studied. Electromagnetic fields inside the scatterer are expressed by a system of quasi-spherical vector wave functions which are derived by use of inverse Fourier transform. Using this expansion a solution of the light scattering problem in the framework of the null-field method with discrete sources is obtained. Numerical scattering results for ellipsoids and cubes are presented. For validation the calculation results obtained are compared with results from other light scattering programs such as DDSCAt and ADDA. Crown Copyright (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

A general t-matrix solution for electromagnetic or light scattering by an anisotropic particle with an arbitrary permittivity tensor is constructed based on the extended boundary condition method (EBCM). By using the inverse Fourier transform, a system of quasi-spherical vector wave functions (qSVWFs) are obtained for an expansion representation of electromagnetic fields inside a general anisotropic medium. Special cases for gyroelectric anisotropic medium, biaxial anisotropic medium as well as uniaxial anisotropic medium are discussed. By virtue of the obtained series of qSVWFs, t-matrix formula are constructed to find solutions for characterizing electromagnetic or light scattering from an arbitrary shaped homogeneous anisotropic particle, and a home-made FORtRAN program is written. to validate the presented theoretical treatments as well as the home-made program, numerical results concerning radar cross section (RCS) or differential scattering cross sections (DSCSs) for various parameters are calculated by using the presentmethod and are compared with those computed using other methods. Very good agreements are achieved, which partially confirms the correctness of the theoretical derivations and home-made program. Some new numerical results are also presented to analyze the influences of anisotropy components in permittivity tensor upon the scattering properties, which also provide a reference data for other methods.

详细信息
In this paper, the t-matrix (null-field) method is developed to investigate the acoustic scattering by a rigid fixed (immovable) finite cylinder with two spheroidal endcaps immersed in a non-viscous fluid under the illumination of an unbounded zeroth-order Bessel beam with arbitrary orientation. Based on the proposed method, a MAtLAB software package is constructed accordingly, and then verified and validated to compute the acoustic scattering by a rigid finite-length cylinder in the Bessel beam. Several numerical examples are carried outto investigate the novel phenomenon of acoustic scattering by a cylinder with spheroidal endcaps in a Bessel beam with arbitrary incidence, with particular emphasis on the aspect ratios (including the ratio of total length to diameter of the finite cylinder and the ratio of polar radius to equatorial radius of the spheroidal endcaps), the 'half-cone angle of Bessel beam, the dimensionless frequency, as well as the angle of incidence. the quasi periodic oscillations are observed in the plots of the far-field backscattering form function modulus versus the dimensionless frequency, owing to the interference between the specular reflection and the Franz wave circumnavigating the finite cylinder in the surrounding fluid. A geometrical model of Bessel beam scattering is employed to further verify the effectiveness of the t-matrix method. Furthermore, the 3D far-field scattering directivity patterns at end-on incidence and 2D polar plots at arbitrary angles of incidence are exhibited, which could provide new insights into the physical mechanisms of Bessel beam scattering by finite cylinders with spheroidal endcaps of different aspect-ratios. this research work provides an impetus for engineering applications in underwater acoustics, particle characterization and the interaction of elongated structures with acoustical Bessel beams.

详细信息
For a particle with rotational symmetry, the t-matrix is a powerful method for calculating the scattering properties. However, as the aspect ratio of the particle (defined as the ratio of the length of the rotational axis to the maximum dimension perpendicular to the rotational axis) deviates further from unity, the conventional t-matrix method becomes less efficient. Furthermore, when the aspect ratio is significantly large, the t-matrix algorithm diverges due to limited digital precision in numerical simulation. In this study, a many-body iterative t-matrix method (MIBt) is employed to calculate the scattering properties of a prolate particle (i.e., a particle with an aspect ratio larger than unity). the particle is divided into a number of sub-particles for which the scattering properties can be solved with the t-matrix method. the scattering properties of the original particle are acquired by adding the contributions of the artificially divided sub-particles and their interactions. Furthermore, the MBItmethod is applicable to prolate particles with the sub-particles having the same or different refractive indices. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

详细信息
In this study, the t-matrix method combined with the addition theorems of spherical basis functions is applied to semi-analytically compute the underwater far-field acoustic scattering of a pair of rigid spheroids with arbitrary incident angles. the involvement of the addition theorems renders the multiple scattering fields of each spheroid to be translated into an identical origin. the accuracy and convergence property of the proposed method are verified and validated. the interference of specular reflection wave and Franz wave can be spotted from the oscillations of the form function. Furthermore, the propagation paths of specular reflection and Franz waves are quantitatively analyzed in the time domain with conclusions thatthe Franz waves reach the observation point subsequentto specular reflection waves and the time interval between these two wave series is equal to the time cost of the Franz waves traveling along the sphere surfaces. Finally, the effects of separation distances, aspect ratios (the ratio of the polar radius to equatorial radius), non-dimensional frequencies, and incidence angles of the plane wave on the far-field acoustic scattering of a pair of rigid spheroids are studied by the t-matrix method.

详细信息
this paper introduces a general inversion methodto simultaneously reconstruct scatterers with different boundary conditions such as Dirichlet, Neumann, Robin, and transmission boundaries without a priori information on their locations, shapes, or physical properties. the forward scattering of mixed scatterers is modeled by a unified framework of t-matrix method, while the objective function considered in the inverse problem is solved by a subspace-based optimization method. the unknowns are t-matrix coefficients, from which the types of boundary conditions of scatterers are identified. Numerical examples show thatthis method is able to recover not only the shapes of scatterers but also their physical properties and parameters.
