A simple modification of the Rayleigh-Gans approximation for homogeneous prolate cylinders are presented. It is shown that the structure of the phase function, calculated by the modified Rayleigh-Gans approximation, is more close to that, obtained by the T-matrix method, then do the classical Rayleigh-Gans approximation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
