Résumé

The scattering of electromagnetic radiation by nonspherical particles has become an increasingly important research topic over the past 20 years. The general problem of handling anisotropic particles of arbitrary shape is replaced by the authors with the more amenable problem of considering aggregates of spherical particles. This is most often a very satisfactory approach, as the optical response of nonspherical particles depends more on their general symmetry and the quantity of refractive material than on the precise details of their shape. The book addresses a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from scattering properties of water droplets containing pollutants, atmospheric aerosols and ice crystals to the modeling of cosmic dust grains as aggregates.
