cluster_shell: cluster_shell

In cda: Coupled-Dipole Approximation for Electromagnetic Scattering by Three-Dimensional Clusters of Sub-Wavelength Particles

Description

Sparse shell of nanoparticles around a spherical core

Usage

cluster_shell(N = 50, R0 = 30, d = 1, a = 1, b = 1, c = 1,
  orientation = c("radial", "flat", "random"), position = c("fibonacci",
  "hc", "random"), exclusion = 5 * N^(-1/4), seed = 123, ...)

Arguments

N	number of particles
R0	radius of core
d	distance from core
a	semi-axis along x
b	semi-axis along y
c	semi-axis along z
orientation	type of angular orientation
position	type of random coverage
exclusion	minimum exclusion distance for 'hc' positions
seed	random seed for reproducibility
...	extra arguments (ignored)
