Mie theory: Linear regressions for the lowest dominant frequency in frequency spectra of M11(x) Click the browser's "Back" button to return to topic

Table 1. Linear regression coefficients for the central frequency, fx(θ) = af + bf θ, of the lowest dominant component of the frequency spectrum of the element M11(x, θ) of the scattering matrix for a microsphere according to Mie theory at several values of the real refractive index, m, of the microsphere. The spectra have been obtained for the relative particle size, x, in a range of 99 to 201.4. This range is located well beyond the first maximum of M11 as a function of x. Parameter θ is the scattering angle. There is no descending branch for a refractive index of 1.02. See also Fig. 3a and Fig. 3b. The goodness-of-fit parameter r 2 is about 0.999 in all cases. A single SD is given in the parentheses in each second row, following the value of a coefficient. By using the above equation, for example, at m = 1.05 for θ = 90° one obtains fx = ~0.491. Hence, the period (1 / fx ) of the dominant oscillation of M11(x) at that scattering angle is ~2.04.
