Mie Scattering with Complex Index of Refraction
TLDR
In this paper, a set of computations of exact Mie functions related to the scattering of electromagnetic waves on dielectric and partially absorbing spheres is described, and the effects of increased absorption index on the extinction and absorption cross section, on the complex amplitude, and on the intensity and polarization of the scattered flux are illustrated by means of diagrams.Abstract:
A new set of computations of the exact Mie functions, related to the scattering of electromagnetic waves on dielectric and partially absorbing spheres, is described. Numerical results with sufficient accuracy and detail in size and angular variation were obtained by means of the IBM-704 computer system for a set of complex indexes of refraction and size ranges mainly corresponding to atmospheric particles illuminated by visible and infrared radiation. The effects of increased absorption index on the extinction and absorption cross section, on the complex amplitude, and on the intensity and polarization of the scattered flux are illustrated by means of diagrams.read more

Formation mechanisms and aggregation behavior of borohydride reduced silver particles
TL;DR: In this article, the formation mechanisms of nanoscale silver particles produced by the reduction of silver perchlorate with sodium borohydride were examined, and it was shown that the reaction pathway does not follow classical nucleation and growth theory, but is dominated by colloidal interactions.

High-Frequency Scattering by a Transparent Sphere. II. Theory of the Rainbow and the Glory
TL;DR: In this paper, the modified Watson transformation is applied to the third term of the Debye expansion of the scattering amplitude in terms of multiple reflections, and the result is a uniform asymptotic expansion for the amplitude.

Atmospheric extinction of infra‐red radiation
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of scattering on the transmission of 2·6 to 12 micron radiation are analyzed as a continuation of an earlier paper, and the results are in good agreement with existing experimental determinations of window transmission except in the 8 to 12 μ region, where they support Roach and Goody's (1958) conclusion on the importance of wing absorption by molecular lines.

An individual visits MOSCOW
TL;DR: A group tour of Russia by United States and European scientists, involving about ten or twenty specialists in a given field, has become quite popular recently as discussed by the authors, where the tour can be planned so that laboratories in more than one specialized field can be included in the visit.
