New
light scattering portal Any
comments, suggestions or hints are welcome. Especially
I would like to encourage you to make your light scattering programs
available to other scientists or students in the field. Why to reinvent the
wheel! Kind

software package for numerical light scattering simulations NAOPC and MTGRP Light
scattering properties of clusters are important for the analysis of the
observed data to infer the physical
properties of the particles with possibly aggregate structures, such as cometary dust, biomass burning aerosols in the Earh's
atmosphere, etc. The
NAOPC
(Numerical Averaging of Optical Properties of Clusters) package extends the
power of the T-matrix method for clusters of spheres, which is often used in
the light scattering study of aggregates, in terms of 1)
maximum number of monomers, which can be treated 2)
computation efficiency by parallel computations. The
MTGRP
(Mersenne Twister Group of Particles) package is
used to generate a medium of the spherical shape with spherical inclusions (in
vacuum) (e.g., clusters of spheres or just two spheres in contact). The NAOPC
and MTGRP packages can be used to study light scattering of media composed of
spheres. Researches who are interested in these
packages may visit the following web site http://www.iup.uni-bremen.de/~alexk/ (choose the "T-matrix" link located at the right
side menu). ============================================================= New
