The advantage of the method is the ability to model an arbitrary number of particles of arbitrary sizes, without additional approximation other than the mode truncation in the cylindrical wave expansion. The disadvantages are that the particles are required to be of a canonical shape (cylinders in our case) and of identical permittivity. Since the number of particles as well as the number of plane-wave incidences can be arbitrary, both trapping and binding phenomena can be predicted, as we shall illustrate hereafter. We should note that the limitations of in-plane incidence and identical radius (which we shall use later) are easily lifted. In addition, the case of an electric field perpendicular to the axis of the cylinders is not discussed here but could be studied in a very similar manner. 2. CYLINDRICAL WAVE EXPANSION AND FOLDY–LAX APPROACH TO MULTIPLE SCATTERING The problem we are considering is expressed as follows: a total of L infinite cylinders with their axes parallel to zˆ are located at positions x ,y =1,...,L. For the sake of simplicity, all the cylinders are assumed to be identical, of radius a, real relative permittivity c, wavenumber kc, and nonmagnetic. A plane wave with electric field Einc=zˆE0 eik· is incident onto the system with k=kˆ k =xˆ kx+yˆ ky, where a bold symbol denotes a vector and a hat denotes a vector of norm 1. It is already well known that such incidence, along with the associated magnetic field, can be decomposed onto a cylindrical coordinate system as24 Einc = zˆE0 eik· = n=− + anRgNnk,, 1a Hinc = − zˆ kˆ zˆ kˆ E0 0 eik· , 1b where an=E0i n e−ini /k. The scattered field in the region outside the cylinder is decomposed in a similar fashion as Escat = n=− + an s Nnk,, 2a Hscat = 1 i n=− + an s Mnk,, 2b where is the impedance of the background medium. In Eqs. (1) and (2), Mnk, = ˆ in Hn 1 kein − ˆ kHn 1 kein , 3a Nnk, = zˆkNn 1 kein , 3b where the prime denotes a derivative with respect to the argument and where the Hankel functions are replaced by the Bessel function for RgMn and RgNn. Note that in Eqs. (2) the coefficients an s are unknown and are solved for upon applying the boundary condition on the total tangential electric and magnetic fields at the boundary of the cylinder. Before this is done, the fields inside the cylinder also need to be expressed as in Eqs. (2) with another set of unknown coefficients. However, since we shall use in this paper the approach based on the Maxwell stress tensor, the computation of the force on the cylinder due to the incident field requires the knowledge of the field outside the cylinder only; hence we do not write the field inside for brevity. When multiple particles are present, Eqs. (2) need to be generalized so that the scattered field of a given particle includes the effects from the incident field and from the scattered field of all the other particles, including all interactions. The self-consistent formulation proposed by Foldy25 and Lax26 is used here and can be written as24 Eexq = Einc +=1 lq L Escat . 4 Equation (4) states that the final exciting field of particle q is equal to the incident wave plus the scattered waves to particle q from all the other particles except q itself. As a generalization of Eqs. (2), Escat q is written as Escat q = n=− + an sq Nnk, − q, 5 where the cylindrical functions Nn have to be evaluated at translated origins for each particle q located at q =xq ,yq. The coefficients an sq are the generalized version of an s and reduce to an s in the case of a single particle. Their expression is obtained from an sq = Tnwn q , 6 where Tn is the known T coefficient of a cylinder for the given polarization, Tn = kc k Jnkca Hn 1 ka Bn − Jnka Hn 1 ka , 7a Bn = 2ik akc kHn 1 kaJnkca − kcJn kcaHn 1 ka−1, 7b and where wn q are solved from wn q = eik·qan + n=− + =1 lq L Hn−n 1 kl − qe−in−nlqTn wn , 8 with q being the angle between the xˆ axis and the vector joining the centers or particles and q.
