Polarizability of polyhedral dielectric scatterers

This paper presents numerical results for thc dielectric polarizability of canonically shaped homogeneous scatterers: cube, tetrahedron, and octahedron. The method is based on solving the integral equation for the static scalar potential on the surface of the scatterer by the method of moments. Easy-to-use interpolation formulas arc given for the polarizabilities cis a function of the permittivity. (C) 2001 John Wi Icy & Sons, Inc.
