Remove compensation of Cext for '-scat fin' #188

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Currently, formulation of finite dipoles not only adjusts the formula to 
calculate Cabs, but also compensates Cext to exactly satisfy the optical 
theorem. The latter seems artificial as not based on any logical derivation. 
Moreover, errors in the optical theorem may, in principle, be used to estimate 
the overall accuracy of the DDA simulation.

So the idea is to remove this compensation.
