Use it in Lightsmith
Load this data in Python, simulate in one more line
pip install lightsmith

Any dataset here, as the library's Tabulated material (au-ag/rioux-2014-au100ag0).
# ... load au_ag as above, then:
sim = ls.Simulation(
particles=[ls.Particle(shape=ls.Sphere(radius_nm=50), material=au_ag)],
medium_index=1.0,
wavelengths=ls.WavelengthRange(start_nm=400, stop_nm=1000, num=81),
)
res = ls.solve(sim) # exact Mie for a sphere
print(res.q_ext) # extinction efficiency at each wavelength
Same spec runs with DDA, FDTD, BEM or T-matrix: ls.compare(sim, ["mie", "dda"]).
