Discrete dipole approximation of gold nanospheres on substrates: Considerations and comparison with other discretization methods

We embark on this preliminary study of the suitability of the discrete dipole approximation with surface interaction (DDA-SI) method to model electric field scattering from noble metal nano-structures on dielectric substrates. The refractive index of noble metals, particularly due to their high imag...
