In this study, we investigated the optical properties of a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) substrate via Mie-scattering-induced surface analysis (MISA). Employing near-field optical microscopy and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations, we systemically prove and directly visualize the Mie scattering of superspherical gold nanoparticles (s-AuNPs) at the nanoscale. Molybdenum disulfide substrates exhibited optical isotropy, while rhenium disulfide (ReS) substrates showed anisotropic behavior attributed to the interaction with incident light's electric field. Our study revealed substantial anisotropic trends in Mie scattering, particularly in the near-infrared energy range, with ReS exhibiting more pronounced spectral and angular responses in satellite peaks. Our results emphasize the application of Mie scattering, exploring the optical properties of substrates and contributing to a deeper understanding of nanoscale light-matter interactions.

Exceptional points (EPs) have been extensively explored in mechanical, acoustic, plasmonic, and photonic systems. However, little is known about the role of EPs in tailoring the dynamic tunability of optical devices. A specific type of EPs known as chiral EPs has recently attracted much attention for controlling the flow of light and for building sensors with better responsivity.

The complex dynamics of terahertz (THz) wave scattering by subwavelength-scale structures remain largely unexplored. This article examines the spectral scattering characteristics of subwavelength-sized spherical particles probed by tightly focused THz waves through numerical simulations and experimental techniques. The simulations reveal that the scattering intensity for lower Mie resonance modes (magnetic dipole and electric dipole modes) remains largely unaffected when THz waves are focused down to 0.

The utilization of acoustic fields offers a contactless approach for microparticle manipulation in a miniaturized system, and plays a significant role in medicine, biology, chemistry, and engineering. Due to the acoustic radiation force arising from the scattering of the acoustic waves, small particles in the Rayleigh scattering range can be trapped, whilst their impact on the acoustic field is negligible. Manipulating larger particles in the Mie scattering regime is challenging due to the diverse scattering modes, which impacts the local acoustic field.

Learning interaction potentials from the structure factor is frequently seen as impractical due to accuracy constraints of neutron and X-ray scattering experiments. This study reexamines this historic inverse problem using Bayesian inference and probabilistic machine learning on a Mie fluid to elucidate how measurement noise impacts the accuracy of recovered potentials. To perform reliable potential reconstruction, we recommend that scattering data must have noise smaller than 0.

In many experiments, nanoparticles are located inside a microfluidic channel, and the light scattered by the particles becomes diffracted through the walls of the capillary. We here derive a simple but accurate approach for simulating the imaging of light through a cylindrical capillary under the assumption that the dimensions of the capillary are much larger than the wavelength of light. A comparison of the simulated images with experimental results shows very good agreement.
