Abstract
Derived from the light scattering by a radially anisotropic sphere, unusual scattering behavior is exhibited, which breaks the Rayleigh law (scattering efficiency as , where is the size parameter). Under certain conditions, we demonstrate an asymptotical relation between and , i.e., , which is not realizable for isotropic particles in Rayleigh regime. Moreover, suitable adjustment of the anisotropic parameters can further suppress the coefficient , resulting in enhanced transparency of the anisotropic particle.
