THE EFFECT OF A DISTRIBUTION OF SIZES ON THE LIGHT SCATTERING PATTERNS FOR SPHERES

Abstract

The light scattering patterns for anisotropic spheres have been described, and scattering patterns calculated as a function of sphere radius, principal polarizabilities, and polarizabilities of surroundings. These calculations are intended to represent idealizations of spherulitic polymers in which all spheres are not of equal size, but in which a distribution of spherulitic sizes occurs. It is the purpose of this paper to evaluate numerically the effect of such distributions upon the scattering patterns. (Author)
