【DDSCAT——离散偶极近似仿真程序11】DDSCAT目标方向的调整

       这一部分我们研究一下对DDSCAT目标模型在坐标系中的角度调整问题。     

       先来看一波手册原文：

       Every target is defined by a list of “occupied” lattice sites (i; j; k)n, n = 1; :::; N. In the “Target Frame” (TF), these sites have physical locations (x; y; z)n = [(i; j; k)n + (x0; y0; z0)] × d, where d is the lattice constant (in physical units) and (x0; y0; z0) is a vector that gives the physical location corresponding to (i; j; k) = (0; 0; 0).

       这个TF，目标架构，我理解的就是通过我们shape.dat或target.out文件中设定的每个偶极子点的坐标来表示目标整体位置的坐标系。

       TF也就是以目标自身为主的坐标系。

       Recall that we define a “Lab Frame” (LF) in which the incident radiation propagates in the +x direction. For purposes of discussion we will always let unit vectors x^LF, y^LF, z^LF = x^LF × y^LF be the three coordinate axes of the LF.

       DDSCAT又定义了一个Lab架构，其中，入射光需沿x轴正方向传播。而x^LF, y^LF, z^LF = x^LF × y^LF分别为这个坐标系的三个坐标轴。这个LF，我们就理解为常见的笛卡尔坐标系，而特殊的地方就是，LF规定了入射光必须沿+x方向传播。

       LF也就是以入射光为主的坐标系。

       Recall that definition of a target involves specifying two unit vectors, a^1 and a^2, which are imagined to be “frozen” into the target. We require a^2 to be orthogonal to a^1. Therefore we may define a “Target Frame" (TF) defined by the three unit vectors a^1, a^2, and a^3 = a^1 × a^2 .

       a^1 和 a^2 是冻结（固定）在目标中的两个正交向量，这两个向量是用来表示目标方向的。如果再需要一个a^3，则a^3 = a^1 × a^2。

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------       

       Orientation of the target relative to the incident radiation can in principle be determined two ways:

       1. specifying the direction of a^1 and a^2 in the LF, or
       2. specifying the di
