A Potpourri of Particles

In this chapter we consider theories of scattering by particles that are either inhomogeneous, anisotropic, or nonspherical. No attempt will be made to be comprehensive our choice of examples is guided solely by personal taste. First we consider a special example of inhomogeneity, a layered sphere. Then we briefly discuss anisotropic spheres, including an exactly soluble problem. Isotropic optically active particles, ones with mirror asymmetry, are then considered. Cylindrical particles are not uncommon in nature—spider webs, viruses, various fibers—and we therefore devote considerable space to scattering by a right circular cylinder. [Pg.181]

A discussion of some theoretical approaches to scattering by randomly inhomogeneous particles is followed in the final section by an outline of recent progress in constructing solutions to problems of scattering by nonspherical particles, including those of arbitrary shape. [Pg.181]
