Scattering — is a general physical process where some forms of radiation, such as light, sound, or moving particles, are forced to deviate from a straight trajectory by one or more localized non uniformities in the medium through which they pass. In… … Wikipedia
Scattering parameters — or S parameters are properties used in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, and communication systems engineering describing the electrical behavior of linear electrical networks when undergoing various steady state stimuli by small… … Wikipedia
Scattering theory — Top: the real part of a plane wave travelling upwards. Bottom: The real part of the field after inserting in the path of the plane wave a small transparent disk of index of refraction higher than the index of the surrounding medium. This object… … Wikipedia
Scattering length — The scattering length in quantum mechanics describes low energy scattering. It is represented by the term a. General concept When a slow particle scatters off a short ranged scatterer (e.g. an impurity in a solid or a heavy particle) it cannot… … Wikipedia
Scattering Matrix Method — In computational electromagnetics, Scattering Matrix Method (SMM) is a numerical method used to solve the Maxwells equations.PrinciplesSMM uses cylinders to model dielectric/metal objects in the domain. The total field/scattered field (TF/SF)… … Wikipedia
Multiangle light scattering — (MALS) is a technique for determining, independently, the absolute molar mass and the average size of particles in solution, by detecting how they scatter light. Collimated light from a laser source is most often used, in which case the technique … Wikipedia

Small-angle X-ray scattering — (SAXS) is a small angle scattering (SAS) technique where the elastic scattering of X rays (wavelength 0.1 ... 0.2 nm) by a sample which has inhomogeneities in the nm range, is recorded at very low angles (typically 0.1 10°). This angular range… … Wikipedia
Biological small-angle scattering — Small angle scattering is a fundamental method for structure analysis of materials, including biological materials. Small angle scattering allows one to study the structure of a variety of objects such as solutions of biological macromolecules,… … Wikipedia
Bidirectional scattering distribution function — The definition of the BSDF (Bidirectional scattering distribution function) is not well standardized.
