• lateral dependence of E and H, while eigenvalues describe their vertical dependence. Finally, boundary conditions at the interfaces of sublayers are defined considering that tangential components of E and H need to be conserved for conservation of momentum. When solving the system, an S-matrix algorithm

• . Recently, the excitation of anapole states in pure dielectric nanoparticles was studied under the prism of a Weierstrass-type product expansion in terms of the resonant-state frequencies that correspond to zeros of the elements of the S-matrix of the particle in the complex frequency plane [26]. Moreover

Keywords: current-induced forces; electronic transport theory; nanoelectromechanical systems; scattering matrix; S-matrix; Introduction Scattering theory has proved to be a highly successful method for treating coherent transport in mesoscopic systems

• the microscopic parameters. In the section “S-matrix theory of current-induced forces”, we show that the current-induced forces can be written in terms of parametric derivatives of the scattering matrix (S-matrix) of the system, and state general properties that can be derived from S-matrix symmetry

• nonlinear Langevin equation due to their nontrivial dependencies on X(t) [28][29]. S-matrix theory of current-induced forces Adiabatic expansion of the S-matrix Scattering matrix approaches to mesoscopic transport generally involve expressions in terms of the elastic S-matrix. For our problem, the S-matrix
