| Summary: | Absorption and Scattering of Light by Small Particles<br> Treating absorption and scattering in equal measure, this self-contained, interdisciplinary study examines and illustrates how small particles absorb and scatter light. The authors emphasize that any discussion of the optical behavior of small particles is inseparable from a full understanding of the optical behavior of the parent material-bulk matter. To divorce one concept from the other is to render any study on scattering theory seriously incomplete.<br> Special features and important topics covered in this book include:<br> ∗ Classical theories of optical properties based on idealized models<br> ∗ Measurements for three representative materials: magnesium oxide, aluminum, and water<br> ∗ An extensive discussion of electromagnetic theory<br> ∗ Numerous exact and approximate solutions to various scattering problems<br> ∗ Examples and applications from physics, astrophysics, atmospheric physics, and biophysics<br> ∗ Some 500 references emphasizing work done since Kerker′s 1969 work on scattering theory<br> ∗ Computer programs for calculating scattering by spheres, coated spheres, and infinite cylinders |
