Scattering cross sections of randomly oriented coated spheroids
نویسندگان
چکیده
The extended boundary condition method (EBCM), or T-matrix method, has been applied to the determination of scattering cross sections of coated spheroidal particles in random orientation.We report the e!ects of varying size and core/shell ratio for a number of axial ratios. Di!erent scattering properties of equal-volume prolate and oblate spheroids, as well as the e!ect of nonsphericity on thin-shell-coated systems are considered. We discuss some convergence strategies for coated-particle EBCM calculations. 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A T-matrix method and computer code for randomly oriented, axially symmetric coated scatterers
A computer code is described for the calculation of light-scattering properties of randomly oriented, axially symmetric coated particles, in the framework of the T-matrix theory. The underlying mathematical background is outlined briefly and convergence procedures are discussed. After outlining the input–output interaction between user and code, benchmark results are presented for two distinct ...
متن کاملAbsorption and scattering by fractal aggregates and by their equivalent coated spheres
This paper demonstrates that the absorption and scattering cross-sections and the asymmetry factor of randomly oriented fractal aggregates of spherical monomers can be rapidly estimated as those of coated spheres with equivalent volume and average projected area. This was established for fractal aggregates with fractal dimension ranging from 2.0 to 3.0 and composed of up to 1000 monodisperse or...

This study presents experimental measurements of the radiation characteristics of unicellular freshwater cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. during their exponential growth in F medium. Their scattering phase function at 633 nm average spectral absorption and scattering cross-sections between 400 and 750 nmwere measured. In addition, an inverse method was used for retrieving the spectral effective...
متن کاملOptical properties of circumstellar and cometary grains
We study the effects of particle shape on the absorption and scattering cross sections of randomly oriented particles in the Rayleigh domain, i.e. particles that are very small compared to the wavelength of radiation both inside and outside the particle. In particular, we investigate the validity of the so-called statistical approach. In this approach it is assumed that the scattering and absor...
متن کاملAbsorption and scattering by bispheres, quadspheres, and circular rings of spheres and their equivalent coated spheres.
This study demonstrates that the absorption and scattering cross sections and asymmetry factor of randomly oriented and optically soft bispheres, quadspheres, and circular rings of spheres, with either monodisperse or polydisperse monomers, can be approximated by an equivalent coated sphere with identical volume and average projected area. This approximation could also apply to the angle-depend...
