+# scat-coated-sphere
+*** Coated Multisphere Scattering Program ***
+
+Welcome! Before you start using this program there are few things you need to know:
+
+1. This program can be completed after going through two stages. This program was created by:
+   - (May 2019) Misael Natanael: made multisphere scattering program benchmarked with Mühlig's FDTD [1].
+   - (May 2020) Ikhwanul Muslimin: made coated multisphere scattering program based on Misael's program benchmarked with Crut's experiment [2].
+   Both are from Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Bandung Institute of Technology.
+
+2. Make sure the following files are available in the folder:
+   - Main program	     : Main_Program.m.
+   - Sub-programs	     : A.m, A_.m, At.m, B.m, B_.m, Bt.m, dP.m, P.m, poc.m, and progressbar.m.
+   - Refractive index sources: J_C.mat, Johnson.mat, Palik.mat, Si.mat, Weaver.mat, and Matilson.csv.
+
+3. To use this program, please open the main program using MATLAB application. Further instructions will be available in the file.
+
+Thank you for using this program. If you have questions, please contact us via:
