Light scattering by a small spherical particle and nanowire with low dissipation rates are discussed according to the Mie theory (and similar solution for the cylinder). It is shown that near plasmon (polariton) resonance frequencies one can see non-Rayleigh anomalous light scattering with quite a complicated near-field energy flux.
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.
