Abstract :
We use a system-based model for nanoparticles that can capture the scattering by two spherical nanoparticles. The model considers the nanoparticle a system whose input is the sum of all incident electric fields around the nanoparticle and the output is the scattered field by the nanoparticles. The model uses the quasistatic approximation together with translation relations for spherical harmonics in order to efficiently capture the properties of plasmonic dimers.
