Abstract: | The scattering of a plane electromagnetic wave at a bi-isotropic sphere is studied, and exact analytical representations are obtained for the fields inside and outside the sphere. Expressions corresponding to Rayleigh scattering can be used to find the effective values of the material parameters of a heterogeneous composite medium consisting of small bi-isotropic spheres randomly disseminated throughout a homogeneous dielectric.V.
