    Photon Scattering
AI Thread Summary
Key branches of photon scattering to include in a report are Compton scattering, Rayleigh scattering, Raman scattering, and Mie scattering. Compton scattering is essential for understanding energy transfer in photon interactions. Rayleigh scattering deals with elastic scattering, while Raman scattering focuses on inelastic processes. Mie scattering is relevant for larger particles and has implications in atmospheric studies. Including all these branches will provide a comprehensive overview of photon scattering.

i am going to write a report about photon scattering, and i still do not familiar about the concept of how many embranchment of it i have to write about, if anyone can tell me any information about it that could be great help to me,then i appreciate to the people who help me here!

You should also check out Rayleigh (elastic) scattering, Raman (inelastic) scattering and Mie scattering as well.

For completeness you should probably mention all of them at least once.

Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'

Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'

Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...

Thread 'Effective absorption coefficient of gold nanoparticles'

I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
