Many-body physics aims to understand emergent properties of systems made of many
interacting objects. This review examines recent progress on the topic of radiative heat …

Photonic crystals have proven their potential and are nowadays a familiar concept. They
have been approached from many scientific and technological flanks. Among the many …

The discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) for scattering calculations, including the
relationship between the DDA and other methods, is reviewed. Computational …

We present a review of the discrete dipole approximation (DDA), which is a general method
to simulate light scattering by arbitrarily shaped particles. We put the method in historical …

Nanoparticle plasmonics is a rapidly emerging research field that deals with the fabrication
and optical characterization of noble metal nanoparticles of various size, shape, structure …

This paper investigates a modified version of the subspace-based optimization method for
solving inverse-scattering problems. The method is found to share several properties with …

We establish the time-averaged total force on a subwavelength-sized particle in a time-
harmonic-varying field. Our analysis is not restricted to the spatial dependence of the …

Beltrami fields exist commonly in all areas of wave theory. In particular, Beltrami fields are
necessary to analyze electromagnetic wave propagation in isotropic chiral materials …

There are many methods for rigorously calculating electromagnetic diffraction by objects of
arbitrary shape and permittivity. In this article, we will detail the discrete dipole …

Nonlinear Optics of Random Media reviews recent advances in in one of the most prominent
