Mean path length inside non-scattering refractive objects
Matt Majic, Walter R. C. Somerville, Eric C. Le Ru
It has recently been argued that the geometric-optics mean path length of rays inside a refractive object under Lambertian illumination is independent of the scattering strength of…
Quasicrystal formation in binary soft matter mixtures
A. Scacchi, W. R. C. Somerville, D. M. A. Buzza +1
Using a strategy that may be applied in theory or in experiments, we identify the regime in which a model binary soft matter mixture forms quasicrystals. The system is described us…
Pattern formation in two-dimensional hard-core/soft-shell systems with variable soft shell profiles
Walter R. C. Somerville, Adam D. Law, Marcel Rey +3
Hard-core/soft shell (HCSS) particles have been shown to self-assemble into a remarkably rich variety of structures under compression due to the simple interplay between the hard-c…
Approximate T-matrix and optical properties of spheroidal particles to third order in size parameter
Matt R. A. Majic, Luke Pratley, Dmitri Schebarchov +3
We here calculate the series expansion of the T-matrix for a spheroidal particle in the small-size/long-wavelength limit, up to third lowest order with respect to the size paramete…
Density functional theory for the crystallization of two-dimensional dipolar colloidal alloys
W. R. C. Somerville, J. L. Stokes, A. M. Adawi +3
Two-dimensional mixtures of dipolar colloidal particles with different dipole moments exhibit extremely rich self-assembly behaviour and are relevant to a wide range of experimenta…
SMARTIES: user-friendly codes for fast and accurate calculations of light scattering by spheroids
W. R. C. Somerville, B. Auguié, E. C. Le Ru
We provide a detailed user guide for SMARTIES, a suite of Matlab codes for the calculation of the optical properties of oblate and prolate spheroidal particles, with comparable cap…
Radiative correction in approximate treatments of electromagnetic scattering by point and body scatterers
Eric C. Le Ru, Walter R. C. Somerville, Baptiste Auguié
The transition-matrix (-matrix) approach provides a general formalism to study scattering problems in various areas of physics, including acoustics (scalar fields) and electroma…
