A demo version of this programme is available from the Wiley site and the MaX-1 ETHZ site.

This is a new 2-D version of the MMP technique with a wide range of application including statics, scattering, gratings, antennae, guided waves, resonators and discontinuities.

The full version is: Christian Hafner: MaX-1, A Visual Electromagnetics Platdform for PC's. CD-ROM and Getting Started with MaX-1 Guide. Wiley, Chichester, 1998.

ScattPy

ScattPy is an open source Python package for light scattering simulations. Its goal is to provide an easy-to-use and flexible modern framework for the numerical solving of the diffraction problems with various kinds of particles. ScattPy includes the separation of variables (SVM), extended boundary condition (EBCM) and point matching (PMM) methods.

The transition matrix method, or T-Matrix method, is one of the most powerful and widely used tools for rigorously computing electromagnetic scattering by single and compounded particles.

Homogeneous axisymmetric shapes (via EBCM and IITM): Spheroids, Cylinders, Chebyshev particles. Arbitrary shapes (via IITM): Prisms

This code calculates the extinction, scattering and absorption efficiency factors for prolate or oblate homogeneous spheroids. The separation of variables method (SVM) and an original scheme of solution of the light scattering problem are used.
