ChiralForce: Cylindrical dielectric nanofibre

<p dir="ltr">This repository contains a Python script <code>fields.py</code> together with two interactive Jupyter notebooks:</p><ul><li><code>force_basis.ipynb</code> capable of reproducing twelve plots of force densities for any material parameters and for any mode near a cylindrical dielectric fibre</li><li><code>particles.ipynb</code> capable of calculating and ploting the force fields for spherical chiral particles</li></ul><h2><a href="https://github.com/Sevastienn/ChiralForce/tree/v1.0.0#dependencies" target="_blank">Dependencies</a></h2><p dir="ltr">This code requires python package manager such as Anaconda, Miniconda or Micromamba and packages listed in the file environment.yaml.
