Description for Electromagnetic Scattering by Particles and Particle Groups: An Introduction
hardcover. A self-contained, accessible introduction to the basic concepts, formalism and recent advances in electromagnetic scattering, for researchers and graduate students. Num Pages: 450 pages, 125 b/w illus. 18 colour illus. 3 tables 100 exercises. BIC Classification: PHJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 178 x 246 x 26. Weight in Grams: 1084.
This self-contained and accessible book provides a thorough introduction to the basic physical and mathematical principles required in studying the scattering and absorption of light and other electromagnetic radiation by particles and particle groups. For the first time the theories of electromagnetic scattering, radiative transfer, and weak localization are combined into a unified, consistent branch of physical optics directly based on the Maxwell equations. A particular focus is given to key aspects such as time and ensemble averaging at different scales, ergodicity, and the physical nature of measurements afforded by actual photopolarimeters. Featuring over 120 end-of-chapter exercises, with hints and ... Read more
