T-matrix approach for calculating local fields around clusters of rotated spheroids.
A T-matrix formalism is used to calculate local electric fields around clusters of prolate spheroids in the long-wavelength regime. The calculations are performed as a function of interparticle distance as well as angle of orientation. The observed red shifts in the resonant wavelengths of the characteristic peaks are shown to obey an exponential relationship as a function of interparticle separation and a sinusoidal relationship as a function of angle of rotation of the spheroid. The behavior of the cluster is discussed and the two effects of separation and rotation are compared.
