MIE: A Fortran Program for Computing Power Deposition in Spherical Dielectrics through Application of MIE Theory.

Abstract

A homogeneous, nonmagnetic spherical dielectric is immersed in an electromagnetic field. The program is to determine the absorbed power density at internal points, average absorbed power density, and total absorbed power inside the sphere. A FORTRAN computer program called MIE has been designed to compute the required numerical quantities. This report describes the program in sufficient depth to permit job setups and implementation on any modern computer. Mathematical theory and formulae, structure and sequence of control parameter and data cards, output format, and function subprograms and subroutines are covered in detail. An extensive discussion of the Mie solution, sample problems with associated computer results, and a listing of program MIE are included in appendixes. (Author)
