Special Features of Light Absorption by the Dimer of Bilayer Microparticles

Resumo

Results of numerical simulation of light absorption by the dimer of bilayer spherical particles consisting of a water core and a polymer shell absorbing radiation are presented. The spatial distribution and the amplitude characteristics of the volume density of the absorbed power are investigated. It is shown that for a certain spatial dimer configuration, the maximal achievable density of the absorbed power is realized. It is also established that for closely spaced microcapsules with high shell absorption indices, the total power absorbed in the dimer volume can increase in comparison with the radiation absorption by two insulated microparticles.
