Scattering and extinction cross sections for a spherical particle coated with an oriented molecular layer

Mie scattering of Laguerre-Gaussian beams: Photonic nanojets and near-field optical vortices

“…Many quantum scattering processes and classical Mie scattering belong to this category. For example, radial anisotropy keeps intact spherical symmetry of the scatterer [10,15,18]. The T -matrix of a spherically symmetric scatterer is diagonal over the angular momenta and the azimuthal numbers:…”

“…The specific form of the expansions is also known as the T -matrix ansatz that has been widely used in the related problem of light scattering by nonspherical particles [5,8,9]. More recently this strategy has been successfully applied to optically anisotropic particles [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

Scalar Equations for Scattering by Rotationally Symmetric Radially Inhomogeneous Anisotropic Sphere

“…Although the procedure seems straightforward the expansions may be slowly convergent, since, as it has been known from the solution of anisotropic spheres with only three parameters (ε r , ε θ , µ), the solution is expressed in terms of spherical Bessel functions of non-integral order [23].…”

Concerning the influence of inert gas adsorption on the infrared spectrum of OH groups on powdered silica

“…Optical models of porous adsorbent-adsorbate systems have been presented (3) based on the scattering and extinction properties of particles and cavities coated with anisotropic films (4). These have been tested against data for CO adsorbed on various alkali halides (5) and it was found that local field effects (i.e.…”
