Absorption and scattering of light by small particles

Absorption and Scattering of Light by Small ParticlesTreating absorption and scattering in equal measure, this self-contained, interdisciplinary study examines and illustrates how small particles absorb and scatter light. The authors emphasize that any discussion of the optical behavior of small par...
