\end_inset

, 
\begin_inset Formula $\sqrt{\left(1+x\right)\left(1-x\right)}=\sqrt{1-x^{2}}\equiv\sin\theta$

 and using the asymptotic expression (DLMF 14.8.2) we obtain that the limits
 are nonzero only for

For

, we simply use the relation 
\begin_inset Formula $P_{n}^{-m}=\left(CS\right)^{m}P_{n}^{m}\frac{\left(n-m\right)!}{\left(n+m\right)!}$
\end_inset

 to get
\begin_inset Formula

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The radial dependence of spherical vector waves is given by the spherical
 Bessel functions and their first derivatives.
 Commonly, the following notation is adopted
\begin_inset Formula 
\begin{eqnarray*}
z_{n}^{(1)}(x) & = & j_{n}(x),\\
z_{n}^{(2)}(x) & = & y_{n}(x),\\
z_{n}^{(3)}(x) & = & h_{n}^{(1)}(x)=j_{n}(x)+iy_{n}(x),\\
z_{n}^{(4)}(x) & = & h_{n}^{(2)}(x)=j_{n}(x)-iy_{n}(x).
\end{eqnarray*}

\end_inset

Here, 
\begin_inset Formula $j_{n}$
\end_inset

 is the spherical Bessel function of first kind (regular), 
\begin_inset Formula $y_{j}$
\end_inset

 is the spherical Bessel function of second kind (singular), and 
\begin_inset Formula $h_{n}^{(1)},h_{n}^{(2)}$
\end_inset

 are the Hankel functions a.k.a.
 spherical Bessel functions of third kind.
 In spherical vector waves, 
\begin_inset Formula $j_{n}$
\end_inset

 corresponds to regular waves, 
\begin_inset Formula $h^{(1)}$
\end_inset

 corresponds (by the usual convention) to outgoing waves, and 
\begin_inset Formula $h^{(2)}$
\end_inset

 corresponds to incoming waves.
 To describe scattering, we need two sets of waves with two different types
 of spherical Bessel functions 
\begin_inset Formula $z_{n}^{(J)}$
\end_inset

.
 Most common choice is 
\begin_inset Formula $J=1,3$
\end_inset

, because if we decompose the field into spherical waves centered at 
\begin_inset Formula $\vect r_{0}$
\end_inset

, the field produced by other sources (e.g.
 spherical waves from other scatterers or a plane wave) is always regular
 at 
\begin_inset Formula $\vect r_{0}$
\end_inset

.
 Second choice which makes a bit of sense is 
\begin_inset Formula $J=3,4$
\end_inset

 as it leads to a nice expression for the energy transport.

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There are two mutually orthogonal types of divergence-free (everywhere except
 in the origin for singular waves) spherical vector waves, which I call
 electric and magnetic, given by the type of multipole source to which they
 correspond.
 This is another distinction than the regular/singular/ingoing/outgoing
 waves given by the type of the radial dependence (cf.
 section 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "sec:Spherical-Bessel-functions"

\end_inset

).
 Oscillating electric current in a tiny rod parallel to its axis will generate
 electric dipole waves (net dipole moment of magnetic current is zero) moment
 , whereas oscillating electric current in a tiny circular loop will generate
 magnetic dipole waves (net dipole moment of electric current is zero).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
In the usual cases we encounter, the part described by the magnetic waves
 is pretty small.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The expression with Bessel function derivatives appearing below in the electric
 waves can be rewritten using (DLMF 10.51.2)
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
\frac{1}{kr}\frac{\ud\left(kr\,z_{n}^{j}\left(kr\right)\right)}{\ud(kr)}=\frac{\ud z_{n}^{j}\left(kr\right)}{\ud(kr)}+\frac{z_{n}^{j}\left(kr\right)}{kr}=z_{n-1}^{j}\left(kr\right)-n\frac{z_{n}^{j}\left(kr\right)}{kr}.

In this section I summarize the formulae for power

 radiated from the system.
 For an absorbing scatterer, this should be negative (n.b.
 sign conventions can be sometimes confusing).
 If the system is excited by a plane wave with intensity 
\begin_inset Formula $E_{0}$
\end_inset

, this can be used to calculate the absorption cross section (TODO check
 if it should be multiplied by the 2),
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
\sigma_{\mathrm{abs}}=-\frac{2P}{\varepsilon\varepsilon_{0}\left|E_{0}\right|^{2}}.

Sect.
 [K]2.6.2; here this form of expansion is assumed:
\begin_inset Formula 
\begin{equation}
\vect E\left(\vect r,\omega\right)=k\sqrt{\eta_{0}\eta}\sum_{n}\left(a_{n}\vect v_{n}\left(k\vect r\right)+f_{n}\vect u_{n}\left(k\vect r\right)\right).\label{eq:power-Kristensson-E}
\end{equation}

\end_inset

Here 
\begin_inset Formula $\eta_{0}=\sqrt{\mu_{0}/\varepsilon_{0}}$
\end_inset

 is the wave impedance of free space and 
\begin_inset Formula $\eta=\sqrt{\mu/\varepsilon}$
\end_inset

 is the relative wave impedance of the medium.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The radiated power is then (2.28): 
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
P=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{n}\left(\left|f_{n}\right|^{2}+\Re\left(f_{n}a_{n}^{*}\right)\right).
\]

\end_inset

The first term is obviously the power radiated away by the outgoing waves.
 The second term must then be minus the power sucked by the scatterer from
 the exciting wave.
 If the exciting wave is plane, it gives us the extinction cross section
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
\sigma_{\mathrm{tot}}=-\frac{\sum_{n}\Re\left(f_{n}a_{n}^{*}\right)}{\varepsilon\varepsilon_{0}\left|E_{0}\right|^{2}}
\]

\begin_inset Formula

\]

\end_inset

(there is minus between the regular and outgoing part!).
 The coefficients are related to those from 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref

\end_inset

 as 
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
\tilde{p}_{mn}=\frac{k\sqrt{\eta_{0}\eta}}{-i\sqrt{n(n+1)}}a_{2nm},\quad\tilde{q}_{mn}=\frac{k\sqrt{\eta_{0}\eta}}{-i\sqrt{n(n+1)}}a_{1nm},

\end_inset


\begin_inset Formula 
\[
\tilde{a}_{mn}=\frac{k\sqrt{\eta_{0}\eta}}{i\sqrt{n(n+1)}}f_{2nm},\quad\tilde{b}_{mn}=\frac{k\sqrt{\eta_{0}\eta}}{i\sqrt{n(n+1)}}f_{1nm}.
\]

\end_inset

The radiated power is then
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
P=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{m,n}\frac{n\left(n+1\right)}{k^{2}\eta_{0}\eta}\left(\left|a_{mn}\right|^{2}+\left|b_{mn}\right|^{2}-\Re\left(a_{mn}p_{mn}^{*}\right)-\Re\left(b_{mn}q_{mn}^{*}\right)\right).
\]

\end_inset

If the exciting wave is a plane wave, the extinction cross section is
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
\sigma_{\mathrm{tot}}=\frac{1}{\varepsilon\varepsilon_{0}\left|E_{0}\right|^{2}k^{2}\eta_{0}\eta}\sum_{m,n}n(n+1)\left(\Re\left(a_{mn}p_{mn}^{*}\right)+\Re\left(b_{mn}q_{mn}^{*}\right)\right)

The basic idea is simple.
 For an exciting spherical wave (usually the regular wave in whatever convention
) of a given frequency 
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset

, type 
\begin_inset Formula $\zeta'$
\end_inset

 (electric or magnetic), degree 
\begin_inset Formula $l'$
\end_inset

 and order 
\begin_inset Formula $m'$
\end_inset

, the particle responds with waves from the complementary set (e.g.
 outgoing waves), with the same frequency 
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset

, but any type 
\begin_inset Formula $\zeta$
\end_inset

, degree 
\begin_inset Formula $l$
\end_inset

 and order 
\begin_inset Formula $m$
\end_inset

, in a way that the Maxwell's equations are satisfied, with the coefficients
 
\begin_inset Formula $T_{l,m;l',m'}^{\zeta,\zeta'}(\omega)$
\end_inset

.
 This yields one row in the scattering matrix (often called the 
\begin_inset Formula $T$
\end_inset

-matrix) 
\begin_inset Formula $T(\omega)$
\end_inset

, which fully characterizes the scattering properties of the particle (in
 the linear regime, of course).
 Analytical expression for the matrix is known for spherical scatterer,
 otherwise it is computed numerically (using DDA, BEM or whatever).
 So if we have the two sets of spherical wave functions 
\begin_inset Formula $\vect f_{lm}^{J_{1},\zeta}$
\end_inset

, 
\begin_inset Formula $\vect f_{lm}^{J_{2},\zeta}$
\end_inset

\begin_layout Section
Note on transforming T-matrix conventions
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
T-matrix depends on the used conventions as well.
 This is not apparent for the Mie case as the T-matrix for a sphere is 
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset

diagonal
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset

.
 But for other shapes, dipole incoming field can induce also higher-order
 multipoles in the nanoparticle, etc.
 The easiest way to determine the transformation properties is to write
 down the total scattered electric field for both conventions in the form
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
\vect E_{\mathrm{scat}}=\sum_{n'}\sum_{n}T_{n'}^{n}c^{n'}\vect f_{n}=\sum_{n'}\sum_{n}\widetilde{T}_{n'}^{n}\widetilde{c}^{n'}\widetilde{\vect f}_{n}
\]

\end_inset

where we merged all the indices into single multiindex 
\begin_inset Formula $n$
\end_inset

 or 
\begin_inset Formula $n'$
\end_inset

.
 This way of writing immediately suggest how to transform the T-matrix into
 the new convention if we know the transformation properties of the base
 waves and expansion coefficients, as it reminds the notation used in geometry
 – 
\begin_inset Formula $c^{\alpha}$
\end_inset

 are 
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset

vector coordinates
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset

, 
\begin_inset Formula $\vect f_{\alpha}$
\end_inset

 are 
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset

base vectors
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset

.
 Obviously, T-matrix is then 
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset

tensor of type (1,1)
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset

, and it transforms as vector coordinates (i.e.
 wave expansion coefficients) in the 
\begin_inset Formula $n$
\end_inset

 (outgoing wave) indices and as form coordinates in the 
\begin_inset Formula $n'$
\end_inset

 (regular/illuminating wave) indices.
 Form coordinates change in the same waves as base vectors
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Kristensson to Taylor
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
For instance, let us transform between from the Kristensson's to Taylor's
 convention.
 We know that the Taylor's base vectors are 
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset

larger
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset

: 
\begin_inset Formula $\widetilde{\vect N}_{ml}^{(3/1/4)}=\sqrt{l(l+1)}\left(\vect{u/v/w}\right)_{2lm}$
\end_inset

 etc, so the coefficients must be smaller by the reciprocal factor, e.g.
 
\begin_inset Formula $\tilde{a}_{ml}=f_{2lm}/\sqrt{l(l+1)}$
\end_inset

 (now we assume that there are no other prefactors in the expansion of the
 field, they are already included in the coefficients).
 Then the T-matrix in the Taylor's convention (tilded) can be calculated
 from the T-matrix in the Kristensson's convention as
\begin_inset Formula 
\[
\underbrace{\widetilde{T}_{\zeta'l'm'}^{\zeta lm}}_{\mbox{Taylor}}=\frac{\sqrt{l'(l'+1)}}{\sqrt{l(l+1)}}\underbrace{T_{\zeta'l'm'}^{\zeta lm}}_{\mbox{Krist.}}\,_{\leftarrow\mbox{illuminating}}^{\leftarrow\mbox{outgoing}}.
