single scattering
21Subsurface scattering — (or SSS) is a mechanism of light transport in which light penetrates the surface of a translucent object, is scattered by interacting with the material, and exits the surface at a different point. The light will generally penetrate the surface… …
22Inelastic neutron scattering — is an experimental technique commonly used in condensed matter research to study atomic and molecular motion as well as magnetic and crystal field excitations.It distinguishes itself from other neutron scattering techniques by resolving the… …
23Anomalous X-ray scattering — AXRS or XRAS is a technique within X ray diffraction that makes use of the anomalous dispersion that occurs when a wavelength is selected that is in the vicinity of an absorption edge of one of the constituent elements of the sample.Atomic… …
24Rayleigh scattering — Optics. the scattering of light by particles that are very small in relation to the wavelength of the light, and in which the intensity of the scattered light varies inversely with the fourth power of the wavelength. Cf. Mie scattering. [1935 40; …
25Radiation scattering — is the deflection of radiation (electromagnetic or products of nuclear decay) from its original path as a result of interaction or collisions with atoms, molecules, or larger particles in the atmosphere or other media between the source of… …
26radiation measurement — ▪ technology Introduction technique for detecting the intensity and characteristics of ionizing radiation, such as alpha, beta, and gamma rays or neutrons, for the purpose of measurement. The term ionizing radiation refers to those… …
27XANES — X ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES), also known as Near edge X ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) is a type of absorption spectroscopy. NEXAFS also at times used the abbreviation EXAFS. XANES data indicate the absorption peaks due to …
28Circular polarization — The electric field vectors of a traveling circularly polarized electromagnetic wave. In electrodynamics, circular polarization[1] of an electromagnetic wave is a polarization in which the electric field of the passing wave does not change… …
29Circular polarization of starlight — The circular polarization of starlight has been observed to be a function of the linear polarization of starlight.Starlight becomes partially linearly polarized by scattering from elongated interstellar dust grains whose long axes tend to be… …
30Low-energy electron diffraction — (LEED) is a technique used to characterize the structures of surfaces.History =Davisson and Germer s discovery of electron diffraction= The development of electron diffraction was closely linked to the progress of quantum mechanics and atomic… …
