Full Description
The definitive academic and professional reference on the scattering of light
Interactions of Light with Small Particles bridges foundational theory and practical applications, illuminating the science behind phenomena like the blue sky and shimmering minerals. Beginning with the physics of scattering, absorption, and emission, it addresses electromagnetic theory, particle-specific interactions, and approximations for various shapes and sizes. Designed for researchers and professionals, this resource covers computed and measured optical constants, extinction phenomena, surface modes, and directional scattering. Chapters on spheres, ellipsoids, cylinders, and complex clusters are rigorous yet accessible, making this an essential text for anyone seeking to interpret and leverage optical measurements in various scientific fields.
* Understand how particles interact with light across scales and materials
* Get engaging, clear explanations of the science behind the colors of nature
* Gain insight into how classical electromagnetic theory is applied in real-world optical observations
This book is ideal for researchers in molecular physics, optics, materials science, and atmospheric physics, as well as physical chemists and astronomers. Anyone interested in the scattering of light will find it an invaluable reference and learning tool.
