Abstract
The extended boundary condition method (EBCM), or T-matrix method, has been applied to the determination of scattering cross sections of coated sphero idal particles in random orientation. We report the effects of varying size and core/shell ratio for a number of axial ratios. Different scattering pr operties of equal-volume prolate and oblate spheroids, as well as the effec t of nonsphericity on thin-shell-coated systems are considered. We discuss some convergence strategies for coated-particle EBCM calculations. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
