msptools¶
Welcome to the msptools documentation!
The msptools package provides python tools for Optical Forces calculations in particle systems where the Multiple Scattering Problem (MSP) is relevant.
It includes modules for calculating time-average Optical Forces based on the equation:
Where:
\(\mathbf{F}\) is the optical force,
\(\epsilon_m\) is the medium permittivity,
\(\mathbf{p}\) is the particle dipole moment,
\(\mathbf{E}\) is the electric field.
Note
This equation is also valid if vectors containing the dipole moments and electric field of each particle are used.
Main Features¶
Optical Particle Types management: You can create types of particles with specific properties such as radius, material …
Particle System management: You can create systems of particles, add or remove particles …
External Field customization: You can define the external field acting on the particle system.
Force Calculations: You can compute the optical forces acting on each particle in the system. Thus, given the external field and the particle properties, the Multiple Scattering Problem (MSP) is solved and the forces are computed.
