Abstract: An alternate correction of Mie scattering theory for the analysis of plasmonics resonance of metal nanospheres is proposed. The analysis is based on the correction of Mie scattering theory originally developed for left-handed media or negative index media, which employs a solution using the Ricatti–Bessel functions in the calculation of Mie coefficients. It provides validation that the Mie solution for negative index media of spherical particles is also valid for resonance metal nanospheres. Therefore, the viewpoint of a time-reversal problem for the scattered fields in previous correction is not a necessary, fundamental correction to the Mie scattering theory for spherical metal particles. Our analytical solution is also verified by using finite element method.
