Angular distribution of light scattered around the z axis (along the x-y plane) by silver nanoparticles calculated by both FDTD and Mie theory. Incident polarization is vertical (along the z axis). The incident wavelength throughout is 420 nm. Note: The intensity of the scattered radiation for 20 and 80 nm nanoparticles is 6 and 2 orders of magnitude lower, respectively, than that of the 320 nm particle, and has been offset for clarity of presentation.
