LIBERTY

The calculation, which is developed for spherical particles that are assumed to be large compared with the wavelength, involves internal reflections within a particle and scattering of light between particles in the same relative plane. LIBERTY.M was Compiled into Matlab code by xi-guang Yang, NorthEast Forestry University, based on original LIBERTY Fortran code. The LIBETY.m was completed in May 2009.
