Radiative properties of small particles: extension of the Penndorf model

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Explicit analytical expressions to represent the radiative properties of spherical particles in the small size-parameter range were obtained. These expressions were deduced following Penndorf’s approach of expanding the Mie coefficients in power series on the size parameter. However, in opposition to Penndorf’s original work—in which some errors were found and corrected—the Mie coefficients were expanded to the eighth power of the size parameter, which results in a five-term approximation to the extinction and scattering efficiencies. Also, expressions for the evaluation of the asymmetry factor and both polarized and unpolarized phase functions were deduced and presented. The results so obtained have proved to be very accurate, even for size parameters beyond the limit of validity of the approach utilized.
