  2. Scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering

    The main difference between the effects of single and multiple scattering is that single scattering can usually be treated as a random phenomenon, whereas multiple scattering, somewhat counterintuitively, can be modeled as a more deterministic process because the combined results of a large number of scattering events tend to average out.

  3. Electron scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_scattering

    Single scattering: when an electron is scattered just once. Plural scattering: when electron(s) scatter several times. Multiple scattering: when electron(s) scatter many times over. The likelihood of an electron scattering and the degree of the scattering is a function of the specimen thickness and the mean free path. [6]

    This program calculates the scattering, absorption, and attenuation parameters, as well as the angular scattering patterns of a single coated sphere according to Aden-Kerker theory. 2007 L. Liu, H. Wang, B. Yu, Y. Xu, J. Shen [15] C: Unknown Light scattering by a coated sphere (extinction efficiency, scattering efficiency, light scattering ...

  5. Multiple scattering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_scattering_theory

    Multiple scattering theory (MST) is the mathematical formalism that is used to describe the propagation of a wave through a collection of scatterers. Examples are acoustical waves traveling through porous media, light scattering from water droplets in a cloud, or x-rays scattering from a crystal. A more recent application is to the propagation ...

  6. Single-scattering albedo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-scattering_albedo

    Single-scattering albedo is the ratio of scattering efficiency to total extinction efficiency (which is also termed "attenuance", a sum of scattering and absorption). Most often it is defined for small-particle scattering of electromagnetic waves .

  7. Coulomb scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb_scattering

    Rutherford computes the probability of single scattering from a compact charge and demonstrates that it is 3 times larger than Thomson's multiple scattering probability. Rutherford completes his analysis including the effects of density and foil thickness, then concludes that thin foils are governed by single scattering, not multiple scattering.

  8. Dynamical theory of diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_theory_of...

    The dynamical theory of diffraction considers the wave field in the periodic potential of the crystal and takes into account all multiple scattering effects. Unlike the kinematic theory of diffraction which describes the approximate position of Bragg or Laue diffraction peaks in reciprocal space , dynamical theory corrects for refraction, shape ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_X-ray_absorption...

    The photelectron scattering amplitude in the low energy range (5-200 eV) of the photoelectron kinetic energy become much larger so that multiple scattering events become dominant in the XANES (or NEXAFS) spectra. The wavelength of the photoelectron is dependent on the energy and phase of the backscattered wave which exists at the central atom ...
