Calculation of Mie Scattering Theory Coefficients

Resource Overview

A computational program for calculating Mie scattering theory coefficients (an, bn, cn, dn) which form the core of Mie scattering theory. The program is implemented as modular functions that can be individually called within larger programs, providing enhanced usability and integration capabilities.

Detailed Documentation

The Mie scattering coefficient calculation program implements the core computational framework of Mie scattering theory. This program contains specialized functions for calculating the fundamental coefficients an, bn, cn, and dn, which are essential for describing light scattering by spherical particles. The implementation features modular function design, allowing each coefficient calculation to be invoked independently within larger computational workflows, significantly improving code reusability and maintainability. Beyond the core coefficient calculations, the program includes supplementary utility functions such as result output handlers and data formatting modules. These auxiliary functions facilitate better interpretation of computational results through structured output formats and provide essential support for more complex scattering calculations, including parameter sweeps and multi-particle system analysis. The code architecture employs efficient numerical algorithms optimized for precision in calculating Riccati-Bessel functions and their derivatives, which are fundamental to the Mie coefficient computations.
