Light scattering by fractal aggregates : a numerical investigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 A numerical method is described which is able to calculate the scattering of polarized light by a large assembly of identical spherical particles, of complex refractive index, such as a colloid or aerosol aggregate. The method takes care of multiple scattering inside the aggregate, except that the criterium for the Rayleigh approximation must be satisfied for the individual particles. It is applied to computer-generated aggregates containing up to 512 particles with various fractal dimensions. The scattered intensities for various polarization directions are studied as a function of the scattering angle and size of the aggregate. J. Phys. France 49 (1988) 1969-1976 NOVEMBRE 1988,

Light scattering by fractal aggregates : a Monte-Carlo method in the geometrical optics limit
2014 A numerical Monte-Carlo method is presented to study the scattering of polarized light by an assembly of identical spheres in the geometrical optics limit where the radius of the spheres is larger than the wavelength of the incident beam. In this limit both coherence effects and diffraction phenomena are not taken into account. The rays (direction and intensity) are followed during their r...
متن کاملForward-Light-Scattering Characterization of Pre-Crystalline Aggregates in Crystallizing Lysozyme Solutions
We present a method to characterize lysozyme pre-crystalline aggregates using a forward-lightscattering technique, which is highly sensitive to protein aggregates. The static light scattering properties at small angles of crystallizing lysozyme aggregates are discussed, and related to the crystallization conditions based on the concentration of added precipitant NaCl. Lysozyme solutions that st...

The fractal dimension Df of the aggregate in the solution was evaluated from static light scattering experiments. The polydispersity exponent t and the average hydrodynamic radius of the aggregates were calculated from dynamic light scattering experiments using master curves obtained by K...
متن کاملLight Scattering by Fractal Aggregates: A Review
This paperpresents areviewof scatteringandabsorptionof light by fractal aggregates. The aggregates are typically diffusion limited cluster aggregates (DLCA) with fractal dimensions of D ’ 1:75, which occur frequently in aerosols and colloids, but other types of aggregates are discussed as well. The results of the review are quite general. A scaling description of the scattering of waves forms t...
متن کاملEffect of salt addition on the fractal structure of aggregates formed by heating dilute BSA solutions.
The fractal dimension, Df, of aggregates in a dilute BSA system with added salt was evaluated by static light scattering (SLS). A fractal structure was observed for the system with NaCl addition. The values of Df increased with increasing heating time and ionic strength. The values of Df were larger than those (Df = 1.8 or 2.1) predicted by the conventional cluster-cluster aggregation model, pr...
