Abstract

Radiation scattering on free electrons, atoms, plasmas, and nanoparticles is considered using various approaches both quantum and classical ones. Scattering on atoms is described in dipole and non-dipole approximations while the high-frequency limit is applied for elastic (Rayleigh) and Compton scattering. The high-frequency limit is treated using the dynamical form factor (DFF), the Compton profile, and the impulse approximation. The DFF of the plasma component is also used for the description of the radiation scattering in plasmas, namely Compton scattering, transient scattering, and scattering with plasmon generation and absorption. Radiation scattering and absorption on nanoparticles placed in homogeneous media are presented within the framework of the Mie theory. Numerical examples are given for radiation scattering and absorption on silver nanospheres with different radii in glass in the vicinity of surface plasmon resonances.
