摘要

The surface integral equation (SIE) method is used for the computational study of radiation torque on arbitrarily shaped homogeneous particles. The Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm (MLFMA) is employed to reduce memory requirements and improve the capability of SIE. The resultant matrix equations are solved iteratively to obtain equivalent electric and magnetic currents. Then, radiation torque is computed using the vector flux of the pseudotensor over a spherical surface tightly enclosing the particle. We use, therefore, the analytical electromagnetic field expression for incident waves in the near region, instead of the far-field approximation. This avoids the error which may be caused when describing the incident beam. The numerical results of three kinds of non-spherical particles are presented to illustrate the validity and capability of the developed method. It is shown that our method can be applied to predict, in the rigorous sense, the torque from a beam of any shape on a particle of complex configuration with a size parameter as large as 650. The radiation torques on large ellipsoids are exemplified to show the performance of the method and to study the influence that different aspect ratios have on the results. Then, the code is used for the calculation of radiation torque on objects of complex shape including a biconcave cell-like particle and a motor with a non-smooth surface.
