چکیده
To effectively estimate the influence of multiple scattering caused by haze particles on the misestimating of CO2 concentrations, it is necessary to understand the scattering properties of haze particles in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) wavelength range (~1.6μm) using satellite data. Due to the complexity of structures and components of haze particles, this paper investigates effects of particle size and chemical component on the scattering properties of both single non-spherical particles and aggregates for the 1.6μm by using numerically effective medium theory and core-mantle theory. For the single non-spherical particles, the scattering parameters (e.g. scattering phase function, single scattering albedo, extinction coefficient and scattering coefficient) are calculated by combining the T-matrix method and the MaxwellGarnett effective medium theory. For the aggregates, the particle-cluster aggregation algorithm is used to generate aggregates with different monomer numbers. And then, the CoreMantle Generalized Multi-particle Mie (CMGMM) method is used to compute the scattering parameters. The results indicate that the scattering characteristics are significantly different for both single non-spherical particles and aggregates.

Seeing the invisible with SWIR Less scattering - better visibility
Light scattering effects can be noticed every day when we look at the sky or the atmosphere. The main reason why the sky is blue on a sunny day is Rayleigh scattering (after Lord Rayleigh) of sunlight, i.e., the scattering of electromagnetic radiation by particles much smaller than the wavelength. However, for cloud and haze scattering, the Mie theory (after Gustav Mie) is very important where ...

Determination of particle size is one of the major needs in the industry and biotechnology. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a widely used technique for determining size distribution of spherical particle in nanometer and submicron size range. In this method, there are different algorithms for determining the size and size distribution of particles, which are selected according to the required...

In this Research, the transition from equilibrium ignition to non-equilibrium burn was studied by DEIRA4 code for simple spherical targets with the dimensions of several mm. It consisted of inner DT fuel and outer Au layers driven by the 209Bi heavy ions beam. Because of their higher plasma opacity, it was expected that they could trap much of the produced charged particles, radiation or even f...
