Extinction, absorption, and scattering of light by plasmonic spheres embedded in an absorbing host medium

Although the general Lorenz-Mie formalism for spheres in an absorbing host has been developed, no correct analytical expressions in the small-particle limit have been published so far. Here, we derive two sets of analytical expressions for the extinction, absorption, and far- and near-field scatteri...
