Summary:

Now with a German company, physicist Quinten spent nearly two decades in academia writing about optical properties of nanoparticles and related topics. Here he shows how the combination of electrostatics and solid-state physics that he worked on theoretically, can be used to analyze inharmonious nanoparticle matter in optical metrology for photovoltaics, thin films, organic LEDs, and other applications he has run into in the business world. Mie is Gustov Mie's 1908 general solution for scattering and absorption of light from single, isolated spheres based on Maxwell's equations. Among the topics are the fundamentals of light scattering by an obstacle, extension of Mie's theory, and densely packed systems. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
