Low-energy light scattering: a multiple-scattering description

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento D

Summary

A multiple-scattering development is used to compute extinction, absorption and scattering cross-sections for arbitrarily shaped particles whose dimensions are comparable to the incident radiation wavelenght. Various numerical applications to spheres and spheroids exhibit a remarkable agreement with exact solutions.
