Notes and Comments

An excellent concise treatment of scattering—by molecules and particles, single and multiple—at an intermediate level is Chapter 14 of Stone (1963). Among the books devoted entirely to scattering by particles, that by Shifrin (1951) most closely resembles ours in that it discusses optical properties of bulk matter as well. Biit the two books that have influenced us most are those of van de Hulst (1957) and Kerker (1969) we are indebted to both authors. Another book on scattering, which emphasizes polydispersions, is by Deirmendjian (1969). 

There are also more limited treatments of scattering. McCartney (1976, Chaps. 4-6) confines his attention to scattering by atmospheric particles. This is also discussed by Twomey (1977, Chaps. 9-10) in his treatise on atmospheric aerosols. In Goody (1964, Chap. 7) there are discussions of absorption by gases and, in less detail, extinction by molecules and by droplets. Parts of books on electromagnetic theory or optics include the theory of scattering by a sphere, most notably Stratton (1941, pp. 563-573) and Born and Wolf (1965, pp. 633-664). The latter also derive the Ewald-Oseen extinction theorem and apply it to reflection and refraction at a plane interface (pp. 98-104). 

The fluctuation theory of scattering by molecules is treated in books by Bhagavantam (1942), Fabelinskii (1968), and Chu (1974, Chap. 3). 

Two of the more venerable works on multiple scattering are the review article by Milne (1930) and the book by Chandrasekhar (1950). A long-awaited treatise on this subject by van de Hulst (1980) recently made its appearance. Two reports, with many references, edited by Lenoble (1977) and by Fouquart et al. (1980), have been published by the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics. 

The inverse problem in scattering theory is discussed in the collections of papers edited by Baltes (1978, 1980).

Notes and Comments. Further improvements in efficiency were achieved by implementing the method on computers with highly parallel architecture. SISM performs in parallel as LFV which means the speed up Is gained due to longer time stop wliidi cun be u.sed by SISM [20].

These notes and comments on different sections of the standard should be read in conjunction with the standard. The standard is available from ISO or from a national standards body in countries that have adopted the standard as part of a national program. (For example, in Australia ISO/ IEC17025 is known as AS17025 and has been adopted without change.) ISO/IEC 17025 is a full international standard, but for many years its predecessor, Guide 25 was used, and many analysts and texts still refer to it as a guide. A detailed discussion of the sections of the standard follows.
