Temperature response in participating media with anisotropic scattering caused by pulsed lasers

It is not by isotropic scattering but by anisotropic scattering that radiant energy is redistributed in some materials containing real particles, fibers, or impurities. In some instances, great difference can be caused in transient thermal behavior between isotropic scattering and anisotropic scattering media. Ray tracing method combined with Hottel's zonal method is introduced to deduce thermal radiative source term for various optical boundary conditions induced by collimated incidence passing through translucent boundary. Temperature response caused by laser pulse at non-incident side of participating and anisotropic scattering media is examined. We investigate effects of scattering albedo, scattering phase function, initial temperature of media and thickness of media on temperature response. Results obtained for anisotropic scattering media are compared with those for isotropic scattering one and show that anisotropic scattering must be considered in the simulating measurement of thermophysical properties by the laser flash method for some materials with big scattering albedo which behave anisotropically, or big error will be introduced; forward scattering can increase excess temperature and backward scattering can decrease it at non-incident side of the considered sample irradiated by laser pulse.

Method for solving the problems of multiple scattering by several bodies in a homogeneous unbounded medium

A method is developed for solving problems of multiple scattering by an aggregate of bodies in a homogeneous unbounded medium. For this purpose, the problem on the multiple scattering produced by two bodies in the field of a plane wave is first considered under the assumption that the initial unperturbed scattering amplitudes of both scatterers are known. The solution is constructed by considering plane waves multiply rescattered by the scatterers. Integral equations are obtained that allow one to calculate the resulting scattering amplitude of each scatterer and the combined scattering amplitude of the system of two scatterers. It is shown that knowledge of the solution to this problem is sufficient to solve the problem on the scattering field of a system consisting of an arbitrary number of scatterers. Expressions for the scattering amplitude in the case of an arbitrary primary field are presented. The relationship between the integral equations describing the multiple scattering in a homogeneous space and the multiple scattering by a single scatterer located near an interface is demonstrated. Approximate expressions are given for calculating the scattering amplitude in the case of multiple scattering.     

Theoretical analysis and measurements on near specular scattering

In scattering measurement it is important and also difficult to separate instrument scattering from the scattering of a sample. Particularly at angles near the specular reflection, it is believed that the small angle limit for scattering measurement is determined not only by detector proximity to the specular beam, but also by the sample scattering. When the scattering angles are smaller than a certain limit, the total scattering combining the instrument scattering and the sample scattering is lower than the instrument scattering. This prevents us from discriminating the instrument scattering and the sample scattering at angles smaller than this limit. In this paper a data processing method is reported that enables us to distinguish the instrument scattering at angles smaller than this limit. Based on this method, we can measure the scattering at angles restricted only by the performance of the instrument.     

Acoustic scattering from a thermally driven buoyant plume revisited

Far-field weak scattering theory is applied to the case of high-frequency broad-bandwidth acoustic scattering from a thermally generated buoyant plume in a controlled laboratory environment. To first order, the dominant scattering mechanism is thermally driven sound-speed variations that are related to temperature deviations from ambient. As a result, the received complex acoustic scattering is a measure of the one-component three-dimensional Fourier transform of the temperature difference field measured at the Bragg wave number. The Bragg wave number vector is the difference between the scattered and incident wave vectors. Solving for its magnitude yields the Bragg scattering condition; this is the Fourier component of the plume variability that produces scattering. Results are presented for multistatic scattering from unstable and turbulent plumes using a parallel scattering geometry. The data justify application of the far-field weak scattering theory to the present case of a thermal plume. As a consequence, quantitative results on medium variability can be inferred using high-frequency broad-bandwidth acoustic scattering. Particular attention is given to the role of anisotropy of the variability of the scattering field in determining the validity of far-field Bragg scattering.     

Multiple small-angle scattering—A review

Small-angle scattering (SAS) is a powerful experimental technique in condensed matter physics for studying structural features of inhomogeneities of colloidal dimensions. So far the technique has been largely exploited to study thin samples for which the single scattering approximation, for the radiation-matrix interaction, holds good. The single scattering approximation is invalid when the thickness of the sample exceeds the scattering mean free path. This situation calls for a guideline to analyse the scattering data having significant contribution from multiple scattering. Since multiple scattering broadens the scattering profile, the beam broadening nature of multiple scattering can also be exploited, by making the sample suitably thick, to study large size inhomogeneities which are otherwise inaccessible to a small-angle scattering set up because of its resolution constraints. The present article presents a review and extension of the theoretical basis for analysing multiple scattering data from the point of view of a recent formalism on multiple small-angle scattering. The formalism is valid for both monodisperse and polydisperse scattering media characterized by the presence of large size inhomogeneities in the matrix. It is shown that multiple scattering from a polydisperse sample can be described by a system of coupled integrodifferential equation. However, multiple scattering from a monodisperse sample can be described by a Fokker-Planck type of equation. These equations have been analysed with an emphasis laid on the nature of the structural information pertaining to the inhomogeneities which is extractable from the multiple scattering profile. When the linear dimension of inhomogeneities becomes comparable to the scattering mean free path of the radiation in the sample, the statistical nature of the medium becomes pronounced. The statistical nature of the medium modulates the scattering profile. The modulation effect could be broadening or narrowing of the profile depending upon the nature of the inhomogeneities and their population distribution. The limiting regimes of validity and the implications of various approximations, frequently used to analyse the scattering data, have been indicated.

Elastic positronium-atom scattering using the stochastic variational method

The stochastic variational method is used in conjunction with stabilization ideas to compute the low energy phase shifts and scattering lengths for positronium-atom scattering. Results are obtained for the Ps-H, Ps- Li+, Ps-He, and Ps-Ps systems. The Ps-H scattering lengths are probably accurate to better than 5% and are the most accurate so far computed. The results for Ps- Li+ and Ps-Ps scattering represent the first published scattering lengths for these systems. The positive scattering length for completely spin-aligned 3Ps-3Ps scattering, namely 2.95a(0), is particularly significant since it demonstrates the feasibility of forming a stable Bose-Einstein condensate of 3Ps atoms.

Multiple scattering theory for slow neutrons (from thermal to ultracold)

The general theory of neutron scattering is presented, valid for the whole domain of slow neutrons from thermal to ultracold. Particular attention is given to multiple scattering which is the dominant process for ultracold neutrons (UCN). For thermal and cold neutrons, when the multiple scattering in the target can be neglected, the cross-section is reduced to the known value. A new expression for inelastic scattering cross-section for UCN is proposed. Dynamical processes in the target are taken into account and their influence on inelastic scattering of UCN is analyzed.

Immersing method for the multichannel scattering problem

We propose a method for solution of the multichannel scattering problem. In particular, the scattering problem is considered when a particle makes a finite motion in the transverse direction of the scattering. In this case the scattering becomes multichannel, which is connected with the presence of discrete energy levels of the transverse movement of the particle. For the case of two-channel scattering, the problem is formulated up to the end. A method for determination of scattering amplitudes for the potential V=V(x,y) is proposed.     

光散射聚集速率测定中T矩阵方法的应用

聚集速率是评估胶体体系特性及稳定性的关键参数, 静态光散射和动态光散射则是测量聚集速率的两个重要方法. 然而, 用静态光散射和动态光散射测量聚集速率时, 需要知道有关单粒子和双粒子聚集体光散射特性的数据. 为此, 通常需要把动、静两种方法结合, 才能消去这个数据. 以前各种近似理论曾用来解决这个问题, 但因粒子尺寸和形状的限制, 结果并不理想. 而T矩阵方法可以不受粒子大小和形状的限制计算其光散射特性. 本工作用T矩阵方法直接计算静态光散射和动态光散射所必须的粒子散射特性, 并将该法得到的聚集速率与动静态光散射结合法得到的聚集速率进行了比较, 两者结果很接近. 本工作为简化静态光散射和动态光散射测量聚集速率, 扩展其应用范围开辟了新途径. 关键词： T矩阵')" href="#">T矩阵 光散射法 聚集速率     

Effects of Breaking Waves on Composite Backscattering from Ship-Ocean Scene

The existence of the sea surface is bound to affect the electromagnetic(EM) scattering from marine targets. When dealing with the composite scattering from targets over a sea surface by applying high-frequency EM theories,the total scattering field can be decomposed into three parts in low sea states, namely, the direct scattering from the sea surface, the direct scattering from targets and the coupling scattering between the sea surface and targets. With regard to high sea states, breaking waves make the direct scattering from the sea surface and the coupling scattering more complicated. To solve this issue, a scattering model is proposed to analyze the composite scattering from a ship over a rough sea surface under high sea states. To consider the effect of breaking waves,a three dimensional geometric model is adopted together with Ufimtsev's theory of edge waves for the scattering from a breaker. In addition, the coupling scattering between targets and breaking waves is taken into account by considering all possible scattering paths. The simulated results indicate that the influence of breaking waves on the scattering field from the sea surface and on the coupling field is non-negligible, and the numerical results also show the effectiveness of the proposed scattering model.
