Software package for modelling electromagnetic interaction

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the search for software packages capable of simulating the interaction between a moving particle and a monolayer, specifically focusing on obtaining a spectral angular density distribution in the far-field zone within the optical frequency range. Participants explore various software options and the nature of the problem, including the type of particles involved and the implications of the monolayer's properties.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about software packages suitable for simulating the interaction of a moving particle with a monolayer, specifically seeking spectral angular density distribution data.
  • Another participant asks for clarification on the type of particles involved, questioning whether they are photons and if the problem resembles X-ray diffraction at optical wavelengths.
  • There are questions regarding the expected color-dependent scattering based on the interaction between the chemistry of the layer and the photons, as well as the importance of molecular structure or orientation in this scattering process.
  • A later reply suggests that the problem may relate to transition radiation within the framework of macroelectrodynamics theory.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express uncertainty regarding the specifics of the problem, including the nature of the particles and the relevance of the monolayer's properties. There is no consensus on the best software package or the exact nature of the scattering problem.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided detailed information on the limitations of the software they have tried or the assumptions underlying their questions about the scattering process.

Hello!
I would like to ask about any software package, where interaction between a moving particle and a monolayer can be simulated. What i need to get is a spectral angular density distribution in the far-field zone within optical frequency range for a problem when a particle crosses a monolayer. I tried to use CST package , but for optical frequency range it does not fit. So what are your proposals?
Thanks!

Are the incident particles that cross the mono-layer photons ?
Is this a scattering problem, a bit like X-ray diffraction, but at optical wavelengths ?

Do you expect to get a colour dependent scattering based on interaction between the chemistry of the layer and the photon ?
Will the molecular structure or molecular orientation be important in that scattering ?

Hello!
What do you mean by mono-layer photons?
It is a transition radiation problem, withing macroelecrodynamics theory, that is all :)
