Scattering angular pattern

For spheres, the scattering angular pattern is symmetric with respect to the axis of incident light, i.e., the scattering pattern is the same for the same absolute value of the scattering angle. In these patterns there are scattering minima and... 

Unlike the wave function, the electron density can be experimentally determined via X-ray diffraction because X-rays are scattered by electrons. A diffraction experiment yields an angular pattern of scattered X-ray beam intensities from which structure factors can be obtained after careful data processing. The structure factors F(H), where H are indices denoting a particular scattering direction, are the Fourier transform of the unit cell electron density. Therefore we can obtain p(r) experimentally via ... 

Further increase in particle size results in the development of minima and maxima in the angular pattern — a kind of particle size fingeiprint This is due to interference which causes waves in some parts of the particle to be out of phase, giving intensity minima, while those from other parts are in phase and so give intensity maxima. This is the basis of the maximum-mimnum technique of particle size measurement The scattering envelope is illustrated in Figure 12.5. 

The maxima and minima in the angular variation of the polarization lie close to the maxima and minima of the differential elastic scattering diffraction patterns. 

It follows, that a characteristic diffraction pattern is obtained, when the scattered radiation intensity is measured as a function of 0. Actually, a well-defined angular pattern is indicative of a medium of high orderliness, and in this case the term diffraction is commonly used instead of scattering. 

The angular pattern of scattering also depends on the shape of the particles. However, in the simplifying case of uniform (isotropic), nonadsorbing and noninteracting particles.

For particles of polydisperse size, the angular scattering intensity patterns vary according to particle size. The same argument we have made in Section 5.2, regard the necessity of multiangle measurement in a PCS experiment is completely valid in an ELS experiment. If these particles have different...
