How to pronoucne Mie in Mie Scattering?

[splitringtail]

I initially would say Mie like "my/pie", but my advisor corrected me and said it was "Me". Yet, someone told me that is wrong and it is "my/pie".

Is there any authority or unanimous agreement on its pronunciation somewhere?

Mie was german. In german with ie/ei the last letter is typically the one that is pronounced.

Nein - the ei is pronounded EYE.
Sie - the ie is pronounced EE.

So Mie would be Me.
