In this paper, the backscattering properties of a perfect electric conducting sphere coated with layered anisotropic media whose constitutive parameters are close to nihility are investigated. We show that the backscattering is more sensitive to the radial constitutive parameters than to the tangential ones. Compared with isotropic case, the anisotropic media with small axial parameters have th...

For fast computation of drain current in Nano-MOSFET, we have developed a new backscattering model based on the accurate determination of ballistic and backscattering probabilities along the channel. The main elements of this model are deduced from careful analysis of transport in devices using Monte Carlo simulation. The backscattering coefficient is in very good agreement with the results of ...

This paper presents soil moisture retrieval form measured polarimetric backscattering coefficients of a vegetation field. The backscattering coefficients of soybean field were measured by scatterometer(HPS: Hongik Polarimetric Scatterometer) system in 2010. Surface soil moisture is retrieved using measured backscattering coefficients. Surface scattering of soybean field is extracted using semi-...

Ferrocene is an organometallic molecular sandwich complex with an iron atom coordinated between two cyclopentadienyl rings. The reorientation of these rings in a process of rotational jump diffusion between multiple equilibrium sites on a circle is investigated using quasielastic neutron time of flight and backscattering spectroscopy experiments. Existing results on the ring rotation in bulk, c...

Background: One of the main causes of induction of secondary cancer in radiation therapy is neutron contamination received by patients during treatment.Objective: In the present study the impact of wedge and block on neutron contamination production is investigated. The evaluations are conducted for a 15 MV Siemens Primus linear accelerator. Methods: Simulations were performed using MCNPX Monte...

INTRODUCTION Our group has been interested in applying advances in biomedical optics to colorectal cancer risk stratification. Through a recent technological breakthrough, we have been able to harness information from enhanced backscattering spectroscopy, an optics phenomenon that allows quantitative, depth-selective analysis of the epithelial microscale/nanoscale architecture. In the present s...

The spectral dependency of the particulate backscattering ratio is relevant in the fields of ocean color inversion, light field modeling, and inferring particle properties from optical measurements. Aside from theoretical predictions for spherical, homogeneous particles, we have very limited knowledge of the actual in situ spectral variability of the particulate backscattering ratio. This work ...
