Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a well known experimental approach uniquely suited for
the characterization of small particles undergoing Brownian motion in randomly …

The radiative transfer theory has been extensively used in geophysics, remote sensing, and
astrophysics for more than a century, but its physical basis had remained uncertain until …

The third edition of this besteller covers the latest advancements in this rapidly growing field.
Focusing on analyses and critical evaluation of the subject, this new edition reviews the …

This volume provides a thorough treatment of multiple scattering of light and other
electromagnetic radiation in media composed of randomly and sparsely positioned particles …

The field of microrheology is concerned with how materials store and dissipate mechanical
energy as a function of length scale. Recent developments in the theory and instrumentation …

We describe a multispeckle dynamic light scattering technique capable of resolving the
motion of scattering sites in cases that this motion changes systematically with time. The …

Hydrogels prepared from self-assembling peptides are promising materials for medical
applications, and using both l-and d-peptide isomers in a gel's formulation provides an …

Quantum noise limits the sensitivity of interferometric measurements. It is generally admitted
that it leads to an ultimate sensitivity, the" standard quantum limit". Using a semi-classical …

A colloidal system represents a multiphase (heterogeneous) system, in which at least one of
the phases exists in the form of very small particles: typically smaller than 1 µm but still much …

A multispeckle technique for efficiently measuring correctly ensemble-averaged intensity
autocorrelation functions of scattered light from nonergodic and/or nonstationary systems is …
