“…There are efficient programs available by Mackowski [42] and Yu-lin Xu [43]. The theory has recently been extended to clusters of rotationally symmetric particles [44] and arbitrary shaped particles [45].…”
In aerosol science today light scattering simulations are regarded as an indispensable tool to develop new particle characterization techniques or in solving inverse light scattering problems. Light scattering theories and related computational methods have evolved rapidly during the past decade such that scattering computations for wavelength sized nonspherical scatterers can be easily performed. This significant progress has resulted from rapid advances in computational algorithms developed in this field and from improved computer hardware. In this paper a review of the recent progress of light scattering theories and available computational programs is presented. Short outlines of the various theories is given alongside with informations on is capabilities and restrictions.

a b s t r a c tThe T-matrix method is among the most versatile, efficient, and widely used theoretical techniques for the numerically exact computation of electromagnetic scattering by homogeneous and composite particles, clusters of particles, discrete random media, and particles in the vicinity of an interface separating two half-spaces with different refractive indices. This paper presents an update to the comprehensive database of Tmatrix publications compiled by us previously and includes the publications that appeared since 2007. It also lists several earlier publications not included in the original database.Published by Elsevier Ltd.
“…Since then, by applying the method of Gouesbet, many subsequent studies such as soot collectivity [18] and periodic arrays [19] for the scattering characteristics of multiple particles have been comprehensively reported. Moreover, some numerical approaches including the null-field theory [20] and the dipolar approximation [21] have also been efficient methods to the problem. Despite the extensive knowledge gained from these investigations, previous researches generally focused on the interactions between Gaussian beam or plane wave incidence for assembly isotropic particles.…”
Interactions between collective multi-layered cells and an off-axis high-order Bessel beam (HOBB) are investigated. The generalized Lorenz-Mie theory (GLMT) is applied to derive the expansion of HOBB. Based on the additional theorem, multiple scattering of collective multi-layered nanoparticles is obtained by considering the tangential continuous boundary conditions. The present theory and codes are proven to be effective by comparing with the simulations obtained from the CST software. Numerical results concerning the effects of beam order, beam conical angle, spherical layer number, core radius and outer layer radius, outer layer refractive index and the spherical number on the scattering of various types of aggregated multi-layered particles are displayed in detail, which may provide critical support for analytically understanding the optical scattering characteristics of aggregated multi-layered biological cells of complex shapes and may find important applications in manipulating multi-layered biological structures.
