Hello all,
I'm trying to calculate the scattering cross-section and the absortion cross-section of Au Nanoparticle Dimer (two NPs side by side of R=50nm), with a gap of 8nm, in Comsol Multiphysics.
Now, I know how to calculate the scattering cross-section and the absorption cross-section of a single spherical Nanoparticle in Comsol. For a single nanoparticle the Power-flow outwards of the Nanoparticle surface is integrated. e.g.
nrelPoav = nx*emw.relPoavx + ny*emw.relPoavy + nz*emw.relPoavz;
(intop_surf(nrelPoav)/S_in)/sigma_geom
where,
intop_surf integrates over the surface of a single Nanoparticle. and sigma_geom is the geometric cross-section. and S_in = E0^2/(2*Z0_const)
Now, my question is when calculating the Scatering Cross section of two NanoParticles (Dimer) should I integrate over both the NP surface in a similar manner, or what should be my approach to calculate???
Thanks a lot.
