Originally published in 1983 and cited thousands of times in the research literature, Absorption and Scattering of Light by Small Particles is a seminal book in the field of nanotechnology. From the Back Cover: Treating 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 particles is inseparable from a full understanding of the optical behavior of the parent material--bulk matter. To divorce one concept from the other is to render any study on scattering theory seriously incomplete. Special features and important topics covered in this book include: * Classical theories of optical properties based on idealized models * Measurements for three representative materials: magnesium oxide, aluminum, and water * An extensive discussion of electromagnetic theory * Numerous exact and approximate solutions to various scattering problems * Examples and applications from physics, astrophysics, atmospheric physics, and biophysics * Some 500 references emphasizing work done since Kerker's 1969 work on scattering theory * Computer programs for calculating scattering by spheres, coated spheres, and infinite cylinders Craig F. Bohren is Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Meteorology at Pennsylvania State University and Donald R. Huffman is Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Arizona.
