ChiralForce: Cylindrical dielectric nanofibre

This repository contains a Python script fields.py together with two interactive Jupyter notebooks:force_basis.ipynb capable of reproducing twelve plots of force densities for any material parameters and for any mode near a cylindrical dielectric fibreparticles.ipynb capable of calculating and ploting the force fields for spherical chiral particlesDependenciesThis code requires python package manager such as Anaconda, Miniconda or Micromamba and packages listed in the file environment.yaml. These packages are namely:astropyjupytermatplotlib (version 3.7)numpypython (version 3.10.10)scipytqdmtexlive (UNIX) or miktex (Windows)Setting up the environmentInstall Miniconda (or equivalent) and when finished open Anaconda PromptRun the following command in the directory containing yaml file replacing word environment with (unix/windows): conda env create -f environment.yaml this command creates an environment called chiralforce and installs all the required packages.Now open your favourite IDE (Visual Studio Code, JupyterLab, …)When using anaconda navigator select the environment chiralforceWhen using Visual Studio Code:make sure to open the folder ChiralForce-main in the explorerchoose the chiralforce kernel before running any notebookOpen and run force_basis.ipynb or particles.ipynb
