5. Scattering and EMA:

• The effective medium theory 「Maxwell-Garnett and Bruggeman Model」:

• The existing modifications of Effective Medium theories(EM), such as Maxwell-Garnett(MG) or Bruggemann are established for essentially random structures and could be highly inaccurate for regular or partly ordered arrays.

• Discrete-dipole approximation:

The discrete-dipole approximation(DDA) for scattering calculations, computing scattering and absorption by isolated, homogeneous spheres as well as by targets consisting of two contiguous spheres. It is shown that for dielectric or metal materials, the DDA permits calculations of scattering and absorption that are accurate to within a few percent.
