Light scattering by a vacuum-like sphere with magnetoelectric gyrotropy
Abstract
An exact transition matrix was formulated for electromagnetic scattering by a vacuum-like sphere with magnetoelectric gyrotropy. Both the total scattering and forward scattering efficiencies are lower when the magnetoelectric gyrotropy vector of the sphere is co/anti-parallel to the electric field or magnetic field of an incident plane wave than when the magnetoelectric gyrotropy vector is coparallel to the propagation vector of the incident plane wave. Backscattering is absent when the propagation vector is co/anti-paralel to the magnetoelectric gyrotropy vector.
