TL;DR: In this paper, the brightness of a rough and porous surface is parameterized in terms of the optical properties of individual particles, by shadowing between particles, and by the way in which light is scattered among collections of particles.

TL;DR: In this article, the shape of irregular small particles using multivariate lognormal statistics (Gaussian random shape) is modeled by the autocovariance function, which can be conveniently modeled by two statistical parameters: the standard deviation of radius and the correlation length of angular variations.

TL;DR: The accuracy of the discrete dipole approximation method in wave optical scattering simulations is studied by comparing the DDA results against results from either Mie, T-matrix or cluster T-Matrix codes with suitable geometries.

TL;DR: In this article, the phase-angle dependence of the degree of polarization observed at small phase angles has been analyzed and it was shown that interference or coherent backscattering mechanism is the most promising model.

TL;DR: The scattering phase function and the degree of linear polarization for small crystals oriented randomly in space have been computed using the geometric ray tracing theory and assuming that the crystals are homogeneous and isotropic.
